14 pilot schemes currently being evaluated for the biggest overhaul of the school bus programme ever
The Government is evaluating 14 special pilot projects before sanctioning the biggest overhaul of the School Transport Scheme (STS) since 1967.
Co-ordinated school opening times, a more flexible school bus fleet, sustainable transport alternatives and better integration of public transport with the school bus service are being considered.
The pilot projects were conducted nationwide over the 2024/25 school year and were aimed at testing measures to enable the scheme to be expanded to add an extra 100,000 children by 2030.

Government's ‘sensible' purchase of Citywest Hotel could save State more than €1bn – Jim O'Callaghan
Mr O'Callaghan said the Citywest Hotel has 764 rooms, and the purchase also includes a large multi-purpose convention centre, a leisure centre and a 6.7-hectare site with planning permission for a solar farm. It was revealed on Tuesday that the hotel had been purchased by the Government at a cost of €148.2m. The Justice Minister said the purchase of the hotel is a 'sensible decision', with the site already being used to house international protection applicants and Ukrainian refugees. 'We're spending a lot of money by paying out to the commercial centre when we're renting premises, so it makes a lot more sense for us to own our own centres, our own properties, which is going to be cheaper in the long-term,' he told The Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk. 'It also avoids the, I suppose, the tension that can arise by going around the country looking to identify hotels or other privately owned accommodations for the purpose of accommodating applicants.' He said the hotel is being purchased from a corporate entity and should it be in use for 25 years, the State will save €1.125bn in total, based on savings of €45m per year over a 25 year period. Mr O'Callaghan also highlighted the need for the processing of applications from those seeking asylum needs to be completed more quickly. 'It's a challenge in respect of people who are seeking asylum. We need to speed up the processing of applications so that they're not sitting around for very many months,' he said. 'As I announced previously, I want to see – and I'm bringing in a new law to this effect – that we will process first instance, and second instance decisions within a period of three months.' He confirmed the decision-making process will be a case of applicants either returning home or getting to work in Ireland. 'I think that's the fairest situation. Sometimes people say dragging it out is unfair, then they say too fast is unfair,' he said. 'We need to process international protection applications much faster. My view is it's fairer to the individuals concerned and it's fairer and cheaper from the State's point of view.' Mr O'Callahan said it is his hope that the purchase of the hotel will not cause any tension in the Citywest area. 'In fairness to the residents around Citywest, since 2022 it has been a centre for beneficiaries of temporary protection and international protection applicants, and it's worked very well since that date,' he said. 'We haven't seen any of the contentious or very negative campaigning against it that we may have seen in some other areas, and I just want to acknowledge and commend the people of the area for the way that they have responded to date in respect of what's going on there.' The possibility of the need for accommodation for international protection applicants declining in future has been considered, opening up the possibility of the centre being used for other purposes, such as the building of new housing. 'It may be the case that the international protection numbers will continue to decline. We mightn't need it for solely international protection accommodation purposes and it's a valuable asset, so there's options there for the State,' he said. He confirmed the on-site leisure centre, which has around 3,000 members, will continue to operate.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin's Cork office vandalised amid ‘personal threats'
Taoiseach Micheál Martin's constituency office in Cork has been vandalised for the third time, according to his spokesman. In the most recent incident on Tuesday night, the office was daubed with red paint with the words 'Zionist pawn' painted on a window. A notice posted on the door claimed that the Government has been 'complicit in the apartheid, occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people inflicted by Israel.' Pictures of the vandalism were shared online on Wednesday morning. READ MORE In a statement, a spokesman for the Taoiseach said: 'I can confirm there was an act of vandalism on the constituency office last night, this is the third such attack. 'Personal threats have also previously been sent to the office, warning the Taoiseach it will be made impossible for him to navigate in public spaces. 'This is a working office with constituency staff acting on a daily basis to support the community on various issues. 'Those responsible for these criminal acts and intimidatory and abusive threats are fundamentally anti-democratic. 'We believe the vast majority of people who are appalled by the situation in Gaza would have nothing to do with such actions.'

Give €10,000 to lower-income families to buy electric cars, climate council urges government
THE CLIMATE CHANGE Advisory Council has urged the Government to introduce a targeted grant of up to €10,000 to help lower-income households buy smaller, more efficient electric vehicles. This recommendation was part of the Council's new Transport Review, which warned that Ireland was falling far short of its emissions targets in the transport sector. Transport remained the country's largest energy user and one of the toughest sectors to decarbonise. Last year, emissions in this area dropped by a modest 1.3%. To reduce reliance on fossil fuels and boost the use of electric vehicles, the Council has suggested a grant of up to €10,000 for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) priced under €35,000. This support would focus on lower income households, particularly in areas with limited access to public transport. The Council also stressed the urgent need to speed up the rollout of public electric vehicle charging stations, which they said is particularly important for households without off-street parking. Advertisement Along with grants and charging stations, they called for investment to strengthen the electricity grid to handle rising demand from homes and commercial vehicles. So far this year, 12,392 new electric cars have been registered in Ireland, a 23.3% increase compared to the same period last year. The Council highlighted the emerging 'vehicle-to-everything' charging technology, which could allow electric cars to supply power back to homes during outages. This innovation could be especially valuable in rural areas. 'Urgent and decisive action must now be taken by Government to end our reliance on fossil fuels and deliver the kind of transformative change that is required in this sector,' said Council Chair Marie Donnelly. She added that any support must prioritise affordability and fairness if Ireland is to meet its climate goals. The Council also pointed to the need to reduce car dependency for school journeys. According to the Council review, only 18% of students used the School Transport Scheme, which offers free transport to children living more than 3.2km from their primary school or 4.8km from their secondary school. To encourage more walking and cycling, the Council also called for a wider rollout of the Safe Routes to School Programme. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
