A Donegal county councillor has said he is delighted to have secured a grant of €10,000 for a road safety project.
Micheal Cholm Mac Giolla Easbuig
Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig secured the grant for Scoil Rann Na Feirste at last weeks MD Council meeting in Dungloe.
He said "I would like to thank Cllr Seamus O'Donnell and Cllr Terrance Slowey for strongly supporting my request for funding for this safety project at the school. There has been a road safety issue at the school when the kids are being dropped off and picked up.
"The council will start work before Christmas and hopefully this will make access to and from the school to the main car park at Áislann Rann Na Feirste safer for everyone."
Dúirt Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig go raibh áthas air go raibh sé ábalta maoiniúchán €10,000 a chinntiú do thionscadal sábháilteachta bóthair ag Scoil Rann na Feirste igCruinniú Comhairle an Cheantair Bhardasaigh a bhí ann ar an Chlochán Liath an tseachtain seo a chuaigh thart.
"Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leis an Chomhairleoir Seamus O'Donnell agus leis an Chomhairleoir Terence Slowey a thug tacaíocht láidir dom san iarratas maoiniúcháin don tionscadal sábháilteachta ag an scoil.
"Tá fadhb le sábháilteacht an bhóthair ag an scoil nuair a bhíonn na páistí á bhfágáil ann agus á gcruinniú arís. Cuirfidh an Chomhairle tús leis na hoibreacha roimh an Nollaig agus tá súil againn go mbeidh an bealach isteach chuig an scoil agus an bealach amach go dtí an carrchlós ag Áislann Rann na Feirste níos sábháilte do achan nduine."
