National Road Safety Conference to at Gleneagle Arena in March
Killarney will host a major national road safety event this spring when the ‘Safer Roads Road Safety Conference’ takes place at the Gleneagle Arena on Wednesday and Thursday, March 11 and 12.
The two-day conference, hosted by Kerry County Council, will bring together road safety professionals, collision responders, investigators, local authority staff and road-related businesses from across Ireland.
The event is not open to the general public and is aimed at those working directly in road safety, emergency response and transport sectors.
The conference will focus on improving road safety standards, reducing serious and fatal collisions and sharing practical experience from across the sector.
Topics will include road design and engineering, enforcement, collision trends, emergency response, new technology, sustainable mobility and the future of road safety in Ireland and internationally.
One of the confirmed speakers is Ger O’Dea from the HSE National Ambulance Service, who will speak on ‘The Anatomy of a Crash’ and the challenges faced by emergency responders, particularly during severe weather conditions.
A number of national and international speakers will also address the conference, with further names to be confirmed.
An exhibition will run alongside the conference, with road safety and transport-related companies showcasing equipment, services and innovations.
Organisers say the event provides an important opportunity for professionals to share knowledge, examine real-life case studies and strengthen cooperation between agencies working to make roads safer.

Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
