Students win fight for school bus passes

A CO LIMERICK parish was last night celebrating a victory for people power after the Department of Education issued school bus tickets to 38 secondary students who were struck off school bus transport last August.

Education Minister Mary Hanafin announced the decision to grant children from Clarina bus tickets to travel to school in Pallaskenry, although they are in the catchment area of schools in Limerick city.

It is part of an overall review of secondary school needs in Limerick.
