Cork school pupils deemed ineligible for transport scheme to get new bus  

Parents at Douglas Rochestown Educate Together National School were informed that Bus Éireann is sourcing a vehicle to transport 50 pupils to the school

Following the school's move, up to 50 pupils — from the Mount Oval, Fort Hill, and Broadale areas — could not get a place on school transport for the new location, even though they are further away than the required 3.2km limit.

A bus is being provided for up to 50 pupils of a Cork school who were not deemed eligible for the school transport scheme when the school was relocated earlier this year.

The Douglas Rochestown Educate Together National School opened at its new premises on Carr’s Hill on January 23, after previously being located in Garryduff.
