We are now at the end of the school cycle and the commencement of the 2024-2025 school cycle begins in four month's time. Every year the school transport scheme is significantly oversubscribed. Year after year this is repeated, causing financial and social worries for parents. Some parents have had to give up their jobs to bring their children to school. This week we had a major protest in north Gorey, with 150 families and 190 children directly involved who are in desperate need of a school transport system for the three towns of Gorey, Enniscorthy and Wexford. Have the Minister for Transport and the Minister for Education a plan in place to increase the number of seats available and expand capacity in the school transport system to ensure as many children as possible across County Wexford can get a seat on their local school buses this coming school year?
