Donegal County Council has launched a campaign to distribute free high-visibility vests to the public. The initiative aims to improve road safety as evenings grow darker. The vests are available at five public service centres across the county. These centres include Carndonagh, Donegal Town, Dungloe, Milford, and Letterkenny.
The council emphasizes the importance of visibility for pedestrians and cyclists. With shorter days, the risk of accidents increases. The vests are designed to make individuals more noticeable to drivers. This measure is part of a broader effort to reduce road incidents.
This initiative follows previous campaigns focused on pedestrian safety. In 2025, the council introduced similar vests during the winter months. The current distribution is timed to coincide with the approaching winter season. The vests are available without charge to all members of the public. The council encourages people to take advantage of the offer.
