Bus Éireann has the contract for delivering the school bus transport system, which takes all of our national and secondary school children to schools. It is a fact that there is a scarcity of school bus drivers. However, drivers of 70 years of age are no longer considered by Bus Éireann. It will not allow them to drive buses. Of course the safety of children is of paramount importance. There is discrimination against men and women when they become 70 years of age. They can drive lorries and buses all over the country. It is ironic that they can drive the same children to a football match, a picnic or whatever after school.
