Bus Éireann School Transport Scheme

Dear parents,

The Bus Éireann school transport portal is open until this Friday 6th June 2025.

The eligibility criteria for School Transport for the 2025/26 school year is as follows:

Children are eligible for school transport if they meet the following criteria:

• Post-Primary Level: They live at least 4.8 km from their nearest post-primary school or education centre, as determined by the Department/Bus Éireann, considering the school’s ethos and language.

Eligible children who complete the application and payment process on time will get a seat on a school bus service, if a service is available.

Children who are not eligible for school transport but complete the application and payment process on time will be considered for any spare seats available after eligible children have been accommodated. These spare seats are called concessionary seats.
