Local senator Seán Kyne has said that Bus Éireann has failed many pupils and their parents in the Moycullen and Oughterard area in this year’s School Transport Scheme.
Some pupils in the Moycullen, Roscahill and Oughterard areas who attend St. Pauls Secondary School, Oughterard and Educate Together in Galway have been left “high and dry” by the national bus company, Senator Kyne has said.
He said that disruptions to services were flagged in October last, and that months later, no service has been provided.
“While some issues were outside of Bus Éireann control, they have failed to provide alternatives for frustrated parents and their children,” the Fine Gael senator said.
“Bus Éireann management must get to grips with these problems and provide alternatives. It seems now that Bus Éireann are hoping to coast to the end of term with no alternative buses or drivers.
“I have contacted the West Region School Transport manager to request a meeting with Oireachtas members and Councillors to get action on this situation,” said Senator Kyne.
