Hi,
I've applied for school bus for 3 of my kids, however it's saying no service available.
Is there a grant I can apply for instead for remote areas?
Regards, Siobhán

We believe there is a Remote Area Grant, please check out section 7 of this document https://www.education.ie/en/Parents/Services/School-Transport/School-Transport-Schemes/st_primary_scheme.pdf
There is a phone number at the end of the document which you can contact to see if the scheme is still operational.

I need to know when my three daughters also post primary will get their concessionary tickets. Transport is from Tara Court Letterkenny to Loreto Secondary school. Why are we left waiting when I paid 50% on 17th of June. It's an absolute disgrace. Parents & guardians need to speak up. I have emailed Bus Eireann & I am still left in the dark, not good enough.

Child starting Secondary school on 27th Aug 2021 and I have been told by CIE today via telephone Mon 16th Aug 2021 that no decision has been made yet on my Childs seat. CIE took payment prompt enough but cant make prompt decisions. Shocking treatment from Gov run service form Dept of Transport. They should not be able to continue this shocking school bus scheme in its current form as it leaves people in the dark and unable to say if their child has a seat on a bus the week before they start school. If this was a private company allowed to operate like this they simply would not be in business as no one would use them if their service was this bad. Service not fit for purpose as parents who have paid good money may face the very late inconsiderate decision by CIE and may have to make alternative arrangements for their child to get to school despite having had their child's application approved and payment accepted months ago.

I have been ringing the Cork Office of the School Transport Scheme for over 2 weeks, for an update on getting the payment of €350 refunded. I have been told we are not being offered a place, but subsequently I received a further email to say Bus Eireann are working trough applications. The phones are not being answered, I have sent emails to schools.cork@buseireann.ie, which alose have been unanswered. A bit of common courtesy to reply to an email would go a long way and could be as simple as "We note your application and it will be 1 month before your fee is refunded". Can someone in the Cork Office contact me please. Best regards, Gavan Daly

Enquiries about the School Bus scheme need to be made directly to Bus Eireann - Schooldays cannot assist with enquiries and has no role in the issue of tickets.
Information on the scheme can be found here https://www.buseireann.ie/inner.php?id=257
