Bus Eireann is being urged to go back to the drawing board and reinstate a dedicated school bus service in South-East Clare. Under a new pilot scheme commencing next week, over 550 students from Cratloe, Newmarket-On-Fergus and Sixmilebridge will be integrated on an enhanced version of the public Ennis to Shannon 343 route. Parents groups have already raised concerns about extensive traffic congestion and health and safety risks about proposed stops along the route, including the final drop-off point near the main road at St.Johnn and Paul's Church in Shannon. Shannon Sinn Féin Councillor Donna McGettigan fears the plans will cause chaos for local families.
