The grant means that the quiz will be run across all 11 new council areas for the first time, including the full Mid Ulster council area.

The quiz is organised by Road Safe NI, which is a leading road safety charity, to promote awareness with primary school children, who are a vulnerable road user group.

The table quiz will cover both road safety, road signs and general knowledge.

The top two teams from this heat will progress to the Norther Ireland Finals which will take place at the Fire and Rescue Training Centre, Belfast, on Monday, February 20, at 7pm.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said: “Educating children and influencing attitudes and behaviours towards road safety is vital; and the first step towards achieving this is to instil good road user attitudes and behaviours in our children.
