A midlands councillor wants families of children who have to get private buses to school compensated in line with those who can avail of the free school transport scheme.
Athlone-Moate representative Tom Farrell believes people in his area attend a variety of schools for a number of reasons and should not be barred from the cost of living measure.
The school transport scheme was announced in July of this year by Education Minister Norma Foley.
