I understand. It is just a small question. I do not even know whether the witnesses can answer it. Without going in and around having the schools being wheelchair friendly and autism friendly, on another note, there is a zebra crossing outside a school in Ardara in County Donegal, St. Mary's primary school. County councillors and Deputy Thomas Pringle have tried for years - the Deputy even tried when he was on the county council - to get traffic lights outside the school for the safety of the children. We keep getting told that because it is a national road, we cannot get traffic lights outside the school. Will the witnesses give me any suggestions or advice with regard to making the road outside that school or other schools safe when they cannot get traffic lights because of our road safety laws?
