Fury as students denied bus places for new term

A GALWAY community is facing transport chaos as more than 30 places on a school bus have been lost for the coming term.

Families in the Clonberne area, who have been sending their children to secondary school by bus eight miles away in Mountbellew, have learned this week they can no longer avail of the bus service.

This is because most of the 7,500 students using school buses who do not live in their school’s catchment area will no longer be accommodated.
