Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the impending cuts to school transport and the detrimental impact this will have on rural communities across this State; the undermining of the community fabric of small rural parishes and the additional financial pressure on hard pressed working families that may drive them to move away from their rural homes to an urban environment.
