MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees that a School Traffic Warden will be employed outside of Gaelscoil na Camóige, Clondalkin on all school days of the 2025-2026 school year.

REPORT:

School Wardens are appointed to dedicated school crossings to aid school children to safely cross the road to access schools.

There is a dedicated school crossing (Ref SC - 028) located at the pedestrian lights on Watery Lane, Clondalkin which serves children attending Gaelscoil na Camóige.

An appointment will be made to this crossing in time for the new academic year.

It should be noted that there is difficulty being experienced nationwide, in recruiting and retaining sufficient School Warden numbers.  As a result, going forward it is becoming necessary for all stakeholders to consider alternative options to ensure that primary school children cross public roads safely to get to school.
