Cllr O'Dwyer initially raised the subject when she submitted the following question to Kildare County Council (KCC): "Can the council confirm any plans to upgrade the pelican crossing in Two Mile House at the Primary School as cars are currently not giving way to children crossing?"

In response, KCC told her via the report it presented at the meeting: "The Zebra crossing located in Two Mile House was recently refurbished and is compliant with all required standards for Zebra Crossings."

"The Zebra crossing is considered appropriate for this location and there are no plans to modify this crossing," KCC added.
