Dublin families are being reminded that they have a couple of days left to sign up for free school transport that could save them €500.
The Department of Education confirmed that fees are to be scrapped for the 2022/23 school year as part of a package of cost of living measures, with thousands of families entitled to saving €500 ahead of the upcoming school year. This week Bus Eireann issued a reminder to parents as their new application is due to close on Friday, July 29.
The families of around 121,000 children could benefit from the scheme for the upcoming school year, which is set to be one of the most expensive years for parents. To qualify for school transport, a child must be aged between 4 and 12 years and living 3.2 km or more away from their local school.
