School bus debacle

Summary

Deputy Patricia Ryan complained that school bus problems were still unresolved weeks into term and asked for answers on hardship cases and extra capacity. No reply was given before time ran out.

I, too, want to raise the issue of school buses. We are three weeks into the school year and there is still no sign of the school bus debacle being solved. I have sent dozens of emails to Bus Éireann and the Minister for Education outlining many cases. Many of these cases involve hardship and health issues. I have not even had the courtesy of a reply and I am wondering when I can get that. Surely something can be done, with thousands of cars off the road, to expand school bus capacity.
