Education Minister Norma Foley was the subject of a barrage of criticism at a Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting over her handling of the School Transport Scheme.

Contributions to the meeting were highly critical of the Fianna Fáil TD's lack of foresight, with sources saying that senators Tim Lombard and Garret Ahearn had both raised the issue.
