Rugby ace Tommy Bowe has teamed up with the RSA to ensure motorists kick drink driving over the St Patrick’s weekend - after 11 were killed over the period in the last five years.
The former Irish International and Ireland AM presenter urged punters to leave their keys at home and plan how to get back safely if they’re out celebrating the festivities.
Bowe also met with students from St David’s CBS in Artane yesterday and they wore “beer goggles” to simulate the effects of drink driving in pedal go-karts.

He said: “Any amount of alcohol can impair driving so it’s just not worth the risk. If you are planning to drink over the St. Patrick’s weekend, leave the keys at home and plan how you are going to get home safely.
