Oireachtas committee to continue review of school transport

A REVIEW of controversial school bus catchment boundaries that have not changed for almost 40 years is to be continued by TDs and senators early next year.

The outgoing Oireachtas Committee on Education and Science began a review last January and received hundreds of submissions in relation to the boundaries, which have been in place since the school transport system was set up in 1969.

However, the election in May meant the committee did not have time to hold hearings on the issue.
