Councillors Raise Concerns Over Roadside Hedge Safety On School Bus Routes

It's feared Clare school bus routes could be subject to safety risks if landowners fail to trim roadside hedges. It comes as a motion has gone before the Killaloe MD calling for enforcement measures to be taken against those failing to do so. The Killaloe Municipal District has confirmed its intention to complete the job on all regional roads in the electoral area depending on funding availability. Councillors have now raised the alarm, however, over the prospect of regional link roads and others serving school busses being omitted from the final plans. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes says traditionally these routes have never been left in any doubt. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by O'Callaghan's Mills Fine Gael Councillor, Conor Ryan and Whitegate Fine Gael Councillor, Pat Burke.
