119. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Education the additional resources that will be provided to local authorities to ensure that there are adequate road safety measures in place including footpaths for children walking to a school (details supplied) in County Longford given the specific reference to physical activity amongst children in the programme for Government. [42447/20]
View answerThe issue of road safety measures in the road network outside the area of vested school sites such as road signage, traffic calming measures, car parking and pedestrian facilities are the responsibility of the relevant Local Authority. Local Authorities have the power to decide on road safety measures outside schools to ensure that measures are in place to protect the safety of local school children.
