Local students in Kilkenny are being educated on the importance of road safety this week.

The annual Road Safety Roadshow is taking place in The Watergate Theatre for secondary school pupils in schools around the county.

The first of three sessions between today and tomorrow got under way this morning (Monday, May 9th).
