As you are aware Bus Éireann operates the school transport scheme on behalf of the Department of Education. Applications for the next academic year are currently being received from parents.    As we currently operate school bus services to your school, I am requesting your co-operation to forward the information, below to families of pupils heading into 1st year in September 2025.    It would also assist if you could display the information on your school’s website or Facebook page.    By doing this we will reach a much wider audience and applications could be received more timely in Bus Éireann.

• Applications for School Transport for the new school year are currently open and can be accessed online at www.buseireann.ie/schooltransport

• Details of the scheme are also available on Bus Éireann’s website and Department of Education’s website gov.ie/schooltransport.

• The closing date for NEW school transport applications is Friday 25th April 2025

• Existing school transport applications will automatically roll over into the new school year

• Payments or medical cards can be received up to Friday 6th June 2025
