MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

To ask the Chief Executive to update the ACM in respect of the School Street Project and will he confirm any plans to include additional schools in the Firhouse-Bohernabreena LEA?

REPLY:

It was agreed that Bishop Shannahan and Bishop Galvin N.S., Rossmore Road, Templeogue, Dublin 12 would participate on the School Street Project in November 2020. However, the Safe Routes to School Project arose around this time, as this project has similar outcomes to that of the School Street Project, Bishop Galvin and Shannahan N.S. joined Safe Routes to School to minmise disruption in the area and to reduce duplication.

The Safe Routes to School Project also involves Riverview E.T.N.S. and St. MacDara's Community College and links in with the Wellington Cycling and Walking Scheme. Suggestions for schools to be considered as part of School Streets for the RTFB Area are welcome and their approval/participation is subject to ongoing funding and support for the School Streets Project.
