Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters
Road Safety
2:00 am
Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent)
I thank the Senator. To be honest, I share his frustration. As he said at the beginning, we are talking about children, parents, grandparents, teachers and all in the vicinity who use the school. I am conscious of the importance of ensuring road safety, particularly in the vicinity of schools, but there is an ongoing process. As I am not a Minister responsible for this, I cannot say whether this can be speeded up or what could be done. If the Senator wants to contact me afterwards, I would certainly be willing to contact the Minister to see how we can expedite this in order that children attending that school and their families can feel every effort is being made to ensure the road at the school is safe for use.
