Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

While I highly commend this programme and believe it is a great move, there is now a mood among the three quarters of schools that have not applied and the 95% of schools not currently in the programme to look seriously at how they can become safer and more sustainable. Could a lighter scheme be brought in as an immediate measure to capitalise on the fact that people are much more conscious of this matter? Shared safe walking networks and small-scale shelters for bicycles could be introduced. Things could be done that do not require a lot of money or a great deal of designing but which could result in significant changes in behaviour around our schools, both psychologically and in real terms.
