Work to begin on school bus seat belts
The development has emerged as the company prepares to appear in court today on charges relating to last May’s school bus crash which claimed the lives of five Co Meath schoolgirls.
Following the tragedy, Education Minister Mary Hanafin and Minister of State Síle de Valera promised that all buses operating under the school transport system would be fitted with seat belts and that three-for-two seating arrangements would be phased out by the end of this year.
