Questions (629)

Claire Kerrane

Question:

629. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Education her views on local authorities not gritting outside schools during cold weather spells; if she will examine the matter; if she will examine the possibility of providing grit containers for schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1699/25]

Written answers

Minister for Education

While my Department takes the issue of road safety for all schools users very seriously, the issue of gritting roads outside of school property does not fall under the remit of my Department. The area of road safety and administration is a matter for the relevant local authority or the Road Safety Authority.
