School Transport
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-24
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I wish to record my appreciation for the efforts made by the Minister to improve the school transport system and the measures she took during the course of the year to do so. A number of places are still available throughout the system on existing coach services. If those were replaced by larger buses, many more children could be accommodated.
Would it be possible for the Minister to have a look at that, with a view to meeting, insofar as possible, the existing voids that can be addressed, including in some cases for concessionary students, who see the buses passing by and whose parents must drive them to school because they cannot get access to the bus service?
