Save this Primary School Bus Route
Carmel Sheerin wrote: The Deerpark primary school bus route services Deerpark, Tawnytaskin, Rockingham, Carrick Road, Pollower and surrounding townlands. It was devastating news to learn on the last day of the school year that our bus service was to be terminated without any warnings. The reason given by Bus Eireann (School Transport) on behalf of the Department of Education is that numbers are not sufficient - Department protocol is to have a minimum of 10 children on the service. There are currently 8 children outside the 3.2km (2 miles) zone availing of the service with others using the service within the zone.
We are asking any parents on the route listed above who are 3.2km (2 miles) from primary school (Scoil na nAingael Naofa and St. Joseph’s B.N.S.) to please consider availing of this service as we urgently need more numbers. It is such a great service as our children are collected between 9am and 9.10am in the morning and returned home between 3.20pm and 3.30pm. Junior and Senior Infant classes availing of the bus service are currently eligible to stay back in school until 3.10pm. If we lose this great service now it will not be restored.
If anyone is interested in availing of this service please call: Bus Eireann (School Transport), Athlone, 0906-473277 and any one of the following parents:- Padraig Casey, 086-8586396, Carmel Sheerin, 086-3647483, Sabrina Kerins, 086-1291908, Lorraine Moore, 087-2333910.
