Parents hit out at Bus Éireann’s used school bus plans

BUS ÉIREANN has come under fire for plans to add to its school bus fleet by buying second-hand buses.

The company has advertised for suppliers who would be able to provide up to 100 single-decker buses that have already been on the road for between four and six years.

The move comes after a series of accidents and incidents involving Bus Éireann and private buses on school routes in the past 13 months.
