Four year old Abdur Rehman was stuck by a car and killed near his house in Mullingar last week.
Motorists are being asked to drive responsibly and cautiously, and to be "extremely mindful" of the risks when it comes to driving in housing estates.
The Road Safety Authority is making the plea after a four year old boy was struck by a car and killed outside his home in the Farronshock Estate in Mullingar last week.
Abdur Rehman's funeral took place at the Mullingar Islamic Cultural Society Mosque on Wednesday.
Communications officer with the RSA, Aoibhinn Touhey, says it's the driver's responsibility to ensure children are free from danger:
