Rural Independent TD Mattie McGrath calls on Education Minister Norma Foley to sort out the School Transport Scheme

The School Transport Scheme is coming under fire ahead of the new term in a few weeks.

A review of the system was carried out three years ago, however its claimed no improvement’s have been implemented.

Rural Independent TD Mattie McGrath says some are again facing into chaos, and he wants Education Minister Norma Foley to sort it out now.

Each year a number of students across Carlow and Kilkenny discover they don’t have access to a bus seat and yesterday on KCLR we heard again from another south Kilkenny woman of the impact again this year as the new academic year looms.
