Clare County Council says it doesn't have the resources to extend its winter gritting program to cover all of the county's national schools.

Local representatives say a number of schools, particularly in rural areas, are located on routes which are not treated in frosty or icy conditions.

They want the Council to rectify this, but the local authority says the estimated cost of 100 thousand euro is too much.

Sixmilebridge Independent Councillor PJ Ryan feels the current gaps in the county's maintenance schedule are unsustainable.
