Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

It is past time already, given that the new school year is now well under way. I do not know exactly all of the rules and regulations around school transport. I know most Deputies here do. It would not be as big of an issue in my constituency, perhaps, as in the Deputy's. I do not, however, see the logic in telling somebody not to get on a bus if the bus has empty spaces on it. Whatever the rules and regulations are, there is also the rule of common sense. If there is a vacant seat on a bus, why would one not allow someone to use it?
