Parents are to face “chaos” again over school transport in the coming weeks as politicians are inundated with complaints from parents that their child has not been offered a bus ticket.

Education Minister Norma Foley is facing criticism from both her Coalition colleagues and opposition TDs as families who have been using the school bus service for a number of years are finding themselves without tickets ahead of the return to school.
