- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: School Patronage (19 Jun 2024)
Paul Gavan: While I appreciate the Minister of State standing in today, I am very disappointed with what the statement he has been handed delivers, because it has not addressed the key issue. I have established the key issue is, without doubt, that the school ethos of Educate Together is not recognised by the Department or Bus Éireann when it comes to providing school transport places. That is the...
