Summary
A Clare local elected representative is calling on the Transport Minister to make the wearing of hi-vis jackets mandatory for pedestrians and cyclists. Whitegate Fine Gael Councillor Pat Burke is seeking the measure as means of making walking and cycling safer on rural roads in particular. As his motion on the subject was carried at this week's meeting of Clare County Council, the local authority will now write to Minister for Transport requesting that it be enshrined in law. Councillor Burke says he can't understand why everyone who takes to the roads in the evenings doesn't already wear a hi-vis.
