Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív)

Under the CLÁR Programme, my Department provides 100% funding specifically for flashing amber safety lights at all primary schools in CLÁR areas that do not already have such lights. The Local Authority selects the projects and has responsibility for the administration of this scheme.
