Families in the the East Galway village of Clonberne are up in arms over a lack of school transport

Some students who had travelled on the bus servicing the area last year have, this year, been refused a bus ticket by C.I.E

The village borders the three catchment boundaries of Tuam, Mountbellew and Glenamaddy

Many students have already bought their school uniform and books for schools in Mountbellew and face the prospect of having no way of getting there

A spokesperson for C.I.E says they have no say over the “catchment boundaries for any area as they were drawn up by the Department of Education”

Galway East, Fine Gael Deputy, Paul Connaughton says the Minister for Education needs to step in to resolve the situation which has left students stranded.
