Re-launch of PARC's guide 17 November 2013:
PRESS RELEASE - PARC Road Safety Group
On Sunday 17th November PARC Road Safety Group are holding their 5th annual Remembrance Day event to mark the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
In order to encompass all in our country who have lost loved ones or who live with serious injury through road traffic collisions we travel to a different county each year. This year the venue is the Menlo Park Hotel, Headford Road, Galway beginning at 2.30pm.
Members of An Garda Siochana have been assisting PARC in preparing for this event along with the emergency services and members of the public.
Bereaved families have been invited to take part in the ceremony where the theme will be 'Celebrating the lives of our loved ones'.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join in on this touching and celebrating service, especially those who have lost a loved one on our roads.
To date 165 people have died in road crashes in 2013 compared to 145 for the same period last year..that's 20 additional needless deaths.
The aim of PARC is not merely to remember those who have died but to bring about a shift in driver behaviour in order that lives are saved. We also search for ways to bring practical help to victims and their families.
Therefore in conjunction with the World Day of Remembrance PARC will be launching their updated free guide 'Finding Your Way' which is designed to help families of victims following the death or serious injury of a loved one in a road traffic collision. This guide is now in plain english which makes the information very accessable. The updated version includes additional information from the Garda Ombudsman Commission, in particular the 'good reasons' for the extension of the six month time limit for families to make a complaint.
