Príomhoide of Scoil na bhForbacha Áine Ní Thuathail believes the proposed zebra crossing will not provide the level of safety needed, particularly given the volume and speed of traffic outside the school.

She and the committee are calling on people over the age of 16 to make their voices heard before the Active Travel consultation deadline of Friday week 19th September
