HSA brings the Keep Safe Roadshow to Limerick School Children
Thursday 14th May 2026
More than 100 children from Gaelscoil An Ráithín, Patrickswell N.S. and St. Nessan's N.S. have today (Thursday, 14th May) attended a Health and Safety Authority 'Keep Safe' event at Mungret GAA Club, Limerick.
A range of state agencies and regional organisations with a safety remit came together to deliver an interactive safety programme directed at fifth and sixth class pupils. The ‘Keep Safe' programme aims to promote safety and community awareness through involving the children in a series of fun and interactive scenarios with a strong safety theme.
The aims of the one day 'Keep Safe' event are to help children to:
- become aware of personal and home safety,
- learn how to react to dangerous situations,
- foster good citizenship,
- learn how to recognise hazards and manage risks, and
- learn how to stay safe within the context of, for example, road safety, farm safety, electrical safety and fire safety.
The agencies and organisations that were represented today include An Garda Síochána, An Taisce Green Schools, Bus Éireann, Civil Defence Limerick, ESB Networks, Limerick Fire and Rescue Service, Health and Safety Authority, Junior Achievement Ireland, National Ambulance Service, and Teagasc.
