Galway Bay fm newsroom – The Department of Transport has given committments over school transport in the Annaghdown, Corrandulla and Corofin areas.
It follows a meeting held this afternoon between the Department and Councillor James Charity, who sought guarantees on long-running issues relating to eligibility.
Many children have been unable to find space in their nearest school due to capacity issues – but were previously told they would not be eligible for transport to a different school.
Councillor Charity says many other children in the area lost their eligibility due to mapping errors and poor route calculation by Bus Eireann.
Councillor Charity says a committment has now been given that children in the area will be eligible for transport to the nearest available school.
Councillor Charity also says that the number of buses serving Claregalway Secondary School will increase this year.
