The Irish Road Victims Association is holding an event in Mullingar on Sunday.
The Irish Road Victims Association is inviting Danny Healy-Rae to attend their World Day of Remembrance event in Mullingar this Sunday.
It follows comments by the Independent TD in which he suggests people in rural Ireland could be issued with a drink-driving permit.
