Clare County Council hasn't ruled out the provision of salt bunkers at schools in an effort to provide a solution to icy conditions on roads.
It follows call by local representatives to extend the winter gritting programme to cover roads outside of schools, particularly in rural areas, which are not treated in frosty or icy conditions.
The local authority says it hasn't the resources to do this, with the cost estimated at an extra 100 thousand euro.
