Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 May 2016
273. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Skills to provide a specific capital fund to assist schools in addressing traffic issues at schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9122/16]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the issue of road safety measures outside the vested site areas of schools, such as road signage, traffic calming measures, parking etc, is a matter that should be raised in the first instance with the relevant Local Authority. In general, individual school authorities are responsible for ensuring the safety and welfare of children and others in their care.
In that regard it is not my intention to provide a specific capital fund to assist schools in addressing traffic issues at schools.
