Avec 262 personnes tuées sur les routes en septembre, le nombres de morts est en nette baisse par rapport à la même période en 2014. Des chiffres annoncés ce mercredi matin par la Sécurité routière. Cette baisse est bienvenue puisque depuis le début de l’année la mortalité routière est en augmentation de 1,8%.

With 262 people killed on the roads in September, the number of deaths has gone below that reported for the same period in 2014. The figures were announced this morning by the Road Safety office. This lowering is welcome since the start of the year road deaths have risen by 1.8%

En 2015, 262 personnes ont trouvé la mort dans un accirdent de la route. Cela représente 55 décès de moins qu’en septembre 2014 et donc une baisse de 17,4%. Et ce n’est que le troisième mois de baisse depuis janvier, après mars (-11%) et juin (-5,4%).

In 2015, 262 people died in road accidents. This represents 55 deaths less than September 2014, so a drop of 17.4%. And this is only the third month of lower figures since January, after March (-11%) and June (-5.4%).

Le gouvernement se félicite donc de cette annonce, une semaine après l’annonce de nouvelles mesures lors d’un comité interministériel de sécurité routière. Bernard Cazeneuve, ministre de l’Intérieur, a salué dans un communiqué “ces résultats encourageants, qui ne sauraient amener à baisser la garde”.

The government are happy about this announcement, one week after new road safety measures were introduced. Bernard Cazeneuve, Minister of the Interior, welcomed in a communiqué “these results are encourageing, but we cannot lower the guard”

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
