Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to raise the matter of the tragic accident that left five children dead and many more critically injured and to ask the Minister to end the practice whereby children are permitted to stand in a moving bus, if he will start immediately a programme of installation of seat belts in school buses, end the practice whereby buses considered unfit for mainstream passengers are diverted to the transportation of school children and if he will also ensure a full, speedy and transparent investigation of the causes of this accident and the lessons to be learned.
