610 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if and when the Primrose Gate estate entrance of a school (details supplied) in County Kildare will be opened, in view of the increased concerns of parents of children attending same, as the other entrance at the GAA pitch is on the main road with no pedestrian lights; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe)

The opening of the pedestrian entrance for access to the school in question is being addressed at local level. I understand that there are insurance issues which have to be resolved before the pedestrian access will be permitted by the landowners and that discussions on the matter are ongoing.
