Private coach operators are currently struggling for survival and need urgent financial assistance or to be included in the fare reduction scheme.

Many of these operators have stated they may not be in a position to provide school transport for children come September, such is the need and urgency for them to be given some assistance. Will the Taoiseach take action to ensure these operators are included in a fare reduction scheme and are given much-needed financial assistance? We also need to ensure we have school transport come September.
