School Kids Need Better Bus Services In County.

A Wicklow councillor is raising the plight of students who are forced to attend school in another town because of the shortage of places

A Wicklow councillor is raising the plight of students who are forced to attend school in another town because of the shortage of places yet have no means of public transport to take them there.

Councillor Melanie Corrigan is calling  for a communal bus service to connect the children in Kilmacanogue with the three schools that they are attending in Greystones. 

Last year, the community in Kilmacanogue launched a petition which received over 160 signatories seeking a better service, which was sent in to the National Transport Authority.

Cllr Corrigan said currently the students are either being driven or have to get two buses and she is urging the Department of Transport’s school transport system to facilitate this change.
