Drivers Ignoring School Wardens | Dublin News

Over 130 incidents this year have targeted school wardens—those “lollipop people” keeping kids safe at crossings—with drivers ignoring them, hurling abuse, or even physically attacking them. One warden in Wexford had her arm hit by a car; another in South Dublin begged for a transfer after being spat at. With over 800 wardens nationwide—and Dublin City Council reporting the highest number of cases—these frontline workers face escalating hostility while legally commanding traffic. Despite fines and penalties on the books, enforcement remains rare. The Road Safety Authority warns this is unacceptable: stopping for a school warden isn’t optional—it’s the law, and it’s about protecting every child waiting to cross.
