Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: Education – Return to School and School Transport (Resumed)
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
School transport has come up a number of times this morning. I noted Deputy Cahill's remarks yesterday in the Dáil about school bus provision in Tipperary. We have a similar situation in Waterford. We have a number of large bus carriers that are supplying public service obligation, PSO, contracts. I have huge concerns about the availability of buses. Mr. Ó Foghlú says that CIÉ is responsible for this but I hope his Department is keeping an overview because I think there will be a significant capacity constraint when September comes.
