Wexford County Council agrees to meet public to discuss controversial safe routes to school schemes
In addition, the works will lead to the widening of footpaths, narrowing of roads, and tightening of junctions in the two villages. However, those living in The Ballagh and Kiltealy have voiced their discontent regarding the schemes with many accusing the organisation behind The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative (An Taisce) of not engaging with the public prior to finalising its plans. In the Ballagh, a public meeting saw 64 per cent of those in attendance reject the proposed scheme in their village, while in Kiltealy there have been 92 submissions made by members of the public raising concerns about the layout of the scheme and how it will affect residents. With the council under increasing pressure to liaise with the public, director or roads Eamonn Hore has announced that two information evenings will be arranged in the villages between August 5-15. In a letter issued to all relevant stakeholders, Mr Hore said that 'following these meetings a decision will be made to proceed with the Safe Routes to School plans or not to proceed with the plans. Wexford County Council would like to see all representatives of the village who have an interest in Safe Routes to Schools, including parents, residents and business owners attend at these meetings. We all aim to keep the children safe.' Mr Hore also drew attention to the fact that the delivery plan and audits for the schemes were presented to each school's board of management on February 19 (Ballaghkeene) and March 4 (Kiltealy) and that the latter also included a walkability audit carried out in the village with students and the Green Schools Travel Officer. The decision to meet with the public comes after local councillors chose to go 'in committee' to discuss the schemes at two district meetings last week. On Tuesday morning last, at the July meeting of Enniscorthy Municipal District (EMD), cathaoirleach Councillor Barbara Anne Murphy proposed that the media be asked to leave so that councillors could discuss the Kiltealy safe routes scheme privately. Cllr Jackser Owens objected to this proposal and the matter was put to a vote with Cllrs Aidan Browne, Pat Kehoe, and Trish Byrne voting to go in committee, and Cllr Owens, and John O'Rourke voting to hold the discussion with members of the media present. As a result the subsequent discussion was held privately. Later that day, at the Gorey Kilmuckridge Municipal District (GKMD) councillors held a private meeting with members of the community from The Ballagh prior to their public meeting. The media was not invited to attend the private meeting. However, at the county council meeting a day prior, some discussion on the schemes took place under the full glare of the assembled press. ADVERTISEMENT Councillor Paddy Kavanagh was the first to raise the topic, contending that neither he, nor the people he represents, had been consulted regarding the Ballaghkeene scheme. 'I have no objection to the SRTS, it's a fabulous initiative, it's putting in ramps and safety features into villages where it's long overdue,' he said. 'This is something which would have constantly been raised about The Ballagh in the past. But if An Taisce is coming to a village to alter that village permanently, it should consult with those living locally. 'Its engineers met with the school, the principal, the parish priest, the parents association, and the board of management; they also consulted with some of the businesses which were directly affected, and those people were of the opinion that these engineers were going to come back to them. But they never came back. "On the day we voted on this at our last district meeting in Gorey, there wasn't even a map for the elected representatives to consult. It would have been so much easier for those engineers if they'd had a public meeting with the people of the parish who are going to be affected by these works for years and years to come. 'I am not for or against this, but I would like to see some safety measures going in for the schoolchildren and to slow the traffic going through the village. But the local people have to have their say.' Cllr Barbara Anne Murphy meanwhile, believed a public information event was the only way to counteract a lot of what she described as 'misinformation and disinformation' which had been circulated in Kiltealy. 'People need to know what's actually proposed and what the options are and the difference it would make to the village,' she said. 'There's an organised 'no' campaign in Kiltealy which is difficult to overcome. People feel intimidated by it.' While events later in the week would suggest Mr Hore agreed that there was a need for a public information event, he remained of the opinion that the relevant bodies had received due warning of the proposed plans. 'On April 9 an email was sent to the councillors with all the relevant documentation, including every single plan, the drawings, all the proposed works, and the locations of the pedestrian crossings,' he said. 'On June 16 there was a meeting with the post office, the local shop, and the landowners, and on June 17 there was a report made to the GKMD with the active travel team in attendance.' Insisting he had not received any detailed maps in April, Cllr Kavanagh felt that an effort had been to made to slip the scheme by unnoticed. 'Any maps I have seen since (at the local meetings) were all on A4 sheets, something major like this should be put on the wall in a hall, and be big enough for people to see it properly,' he said. 'It seems like An Taisce was trying to keep the plans closely under wraps and have it on view for a minute amount of time. That's a sad indictment of the way the councillors have been used.'

Cork town's roadworks ‘causing concern' among locals worried about introduction of one-way system
The confusion relates to the Chapel Hill road, running between Main Street and The Orchard The route connects to the New Road, which is currently closed until Friday, July 25 to allow Cork County Council to install traffic calming and pedestrian improvement measures on the route. Locals are concerned that the Chapel Hill road will become a one-way route after the works finish, and cause traffic chaos in the town. However, a one-way system will not be put in place on the road. Following the works, traffic will flow westward only on the New Road, from Chapel Hill. Fianna Fáil councillor for Macroom, Gobnait Moynihan, told The Corkman that confusion over the system that will be on the road is 'causing concern'. 'It has been brought to my attention that people are concerned that once works are finished that there will be restrictive movements on Chapel Hill. There won't be,' she said. 'It will be a two-way system like it always is – it is just the New Road that will be a one-way system. 'You will be able to go up and down Chapel Hill once the works are finished.' The councillor said there will be ramps along Chapel Hill to keep the speed of cars lower and make the road safer for pedestrians. 'Cars will still be able to go up to The Orchard or go down to the school or the church by using the road the same way as before,' Cllr Moynihan explained. Traffic Management is in operation as works continue on the New Road, which may result in the introduction of temporary lane restrictions and traffic control during off peak times. The works are funded by the National Transport Authority under Safe Route to School (SRTS), which is designed to encourage as many primary and post-primary students to walk, cycle and wheel to school.

Wexford principal‘s desperate plea for school to be added to safe routes scheme – ‘I can't stand by and look at the potential threats to life'
And while there haven't been any fatalities outside of the school to date, its principal John Ryan lives in constant fear that one day an unwanted local statistic will change. 'There's been multiple deaths within a two-mile radius of the school over the last 10-15 years,' he says. 'The number of deaths speak for themselves, they're not directly related to the school itself but it just shows you the dangers the N30 poses.' Although Clonroche NS has a relativity small number of students (101), there are continual issues in how those children are dropped off and collected outside the school every day. Those children come from 71 different families, and those families, those parents and guardians, have just 19 car parking spaces to inch in and out of every morning and afternoon. And they must do so with HGVs hurtling past them, with heavy traffic and excited children obscuring their views, with all the added stresses of ensuring the safety of both themselves and other motorists. In an effort to alleviate these problems, to make life for everyone at the school safer, Mr Ryan is calling for Clonroche NS to be added to the Safe Routes to School Scheme (SRSS) as a matter of urgency. The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Scheme is a nationwide programme designed to make it safer for children to walk and cycle to school. It focuses on improving infrastructure like walking paths and cycle lanes, enhancing safety at school entrances, and increasing bike-parking facilities. However, because of its location, Clonroche NS is not ideally suited to the scheme. 'We're very unique in that we're one of the only schools in Ireland on a national road,' said Mr Ryan. 'We are on the list for the safe routes to school, but there's no guarantee as to when it will come. While we would welcome the SRSS team coming here to do what they can, we don't really know and they don't really know what it's going to look like or when it's going to be. "We were told it was going to be soon and it was done on a basis of need, but if you spend ten minutes outside the gate here you'd see it's very needed.' Niamh Murphy is mother of three children who currently attend the school. She is also a member of the parents' association and was involved in a recent survey which underlined just how dangerous it is for those exiting and entering the school on a daily basis. 'The green schools travel officer Lucy Murphy carried out a survey in 2023, it was conducted between the hours of 2-3 p.m.' she said. 'In that time there were 193 vehicles going past the school, and 89 per cent of them were exceeding the speed limit passing the school. 39 per cent of those were travelling over 65 kmh.' ADVERTISEMENT Given the situation, Niamh and the other parents have made a concerted effort to educate their children on road safety, to stress the utmost importance in exiting the school gates in an orderly fashion. But even then there are variables, outside factors which can't be accounted for. 'There's cars in the spaces, cars behind those cars, children getting in and out of cars, onto buses, all beside a national road,' she says. 'As much as you educate your children on road safety you can't account for other road users.' Part of the problem, according to Mr Ryan, is that many of those passing through the village aren't fully aware of the school's location, don't realise there are children nearby until it's too late. 'Coming from the New Ross side, while there are signs warning there's a school ahead, you're past the school before you realise it, because you're going at speed,' he says, 'From the village side you're going a bit slower but even at that there's extreme speeds. There's a huge volume of traffic. We don't have the liberty of putting out the speed cameras but it doesn't take a genius to see how fast they're going. 'Home times are split, but it's still hectic, we have 71 families altogether and 19 car parking spaces. Mayhem is the only way to describe it. We have a duty of care to the children, the parents, and the staff, I can't stand by and look at the potential threats to life, there's no other way of saying it.' The current layout of the school and its surrounds makes walking or cycling to class something which all those associated with the school are reluctant to recommend. 'There's isn't parking available in the village, so there's no alternative for many of those 71 families,' said Niamh. 'I've walked my son to the school and your heart is constantly in your mouth, the speed of the HGVs going past would almost pull you off the path.' A proposed bike shelter for the school was vetoed for the same reason, the board of management agreeing that no child should be encouraged to cycle alongside the N30 at the current time. Norma Doyle was the principal at Clonroche NS prior to Mr Ryan's appointment and she says this is an issue which predates her successor's arrival, an issue which those involved with the school have been raising for over 20 years. 'This has been going on since 2004 when the campaign started,' she says. 'Wexford County Council (WCC) has admitted this is an exceptional situation; I know it's bound by rules and regulations and bye-laws, but our argument is if it's an exceptional situation exceptions should be made.' However, in terms of the Safe Routes to School scheme, WCC must work alongside Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), the state body responsible for our national roads. 'The council's hands are tied to a certain extent,' accepts Mr Ryan, 'but we need to sit down with representatives from WCC and TII to discuss this in greater detail. The safe routes scheme is fantastic, but it might not work perfectly if it's the same plan applied here as a school on a smaller road.' Keen to stress that Clonroche NS has a lot going for it, that its parents responded positively to a recent survey carried out by the board of management, Mr Ryan says the last thing anyone wants is for the school to be characterised by this one issue. 'We have implemented a number of measures to increase safety outside the school including road safety lessons with the RSA, and a stay safe programme. Outside of that we are a member of the Green Schools, Active Schools, and Creative Schools programmes, we have an extensive music curriculum and perform concerts every Christmas, and our students participate in the Rackard League and the mini-sevens every year.' 'In addition, we are a Digital School of Excellence, a STAR School (Supporting Traveller and Roma) and take part in the Living Arts project annually,' Yet the traffic issues remain. Some of the responses to that survey highlight the concerns parents have. 'For the sake of the children and everybody's health, parents collecting their children should turn off their engines while waiting,' one writes. 'The speed of the vehicles coming into Clonroche is terrible, people are pulling out/in taking risks and then being blown off the road by angry drivers. It's just very hectic.' Councillor Bridín Murphy is the chair of the Clonroche NS board of management and she is urging TII to consider the school for the safe routes scheme for 2026. 'The traffic conditions on the N30 outside Clonroche National School are simply not safe. Each morning and afternoon, parents and children face high-speed traffic on a national primary route with inadequate safety infrastructure, and fast-moving HGVs. This stretch of the N30 is under the responsibility of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, and it's clear it must act now. "This stretch of road from Green's corner to Leeches Bend is dangerous. I'm calling on TII to urgently install traffic-calming features. The safety of our young school children must be TII's top priority.'
