Donegal Mayor Cllr Ian McGarvey praised all the
schools for "getting behind the initiative".
"We had over 500 entries and it is fantastic to see

our young people. Do make our roads safe by looking
out for each other, drive safely and let’s make our
contribution.” John Campbell of Finn Harps added:
