Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Revised National Development Plan: Discussion
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
The short answer is "Yes". The slightly longer answer is as follows. We deliver the Safe Routes to School programme and the Green Schools programme through the green schools section of An Taisce. It is very well run and very well managed. Most schools are enthusiastic about it. The green school section has carried out audits of many, although not all, of the schools that were willing to have such an audit. That has allowed it to recognise the needs of individual schools. It now becomes a challenge to work with the local authorities to put in place what are sometimes very expensive investments to provide the connections, but as part of the overall programme.
