Government looking at allowing over 70s to drive school buses amid shortage of drivers
Education Minister Norma Foley said there were 'difficulties' in attracting people to become bus drivers, but this was due to Ireland’s full-employment status.
The Government is examining whether or not to allow people over the age of 70 to drive school buses, Education Minister Norma Foley has said.
Ms Foley said Transport Minister Eamon Ryan is to commission a report, saying it would “look specifically at that area of providing opportunities going forward perhaps for those who are over 70”.
