Gospel values demand that we travel safely on roads today, Killaloe’s Bishop Fintan Monahan has said.
Speaking at a ‘Blessing of the Roads’ ceremony in the Cathedral of Ss Peter and Paul in Ennis, Co. Clare, Dr Monahan said: “Road safety awareness is the parable of the Good Samaritan in action within our communities today.”
This applies to all road users who share the responsibility to protect human life on our roads, he said, maintaining that “every one of us has a role in helping others even if we are not known to each other personally”.
