Mum-of-3's fury as 'only child in world' with rare syndrome has school bus seat removed

A seven-year-old boy who suffers with a rare disorder requiring round-the-clock care has had his school bus seat taken away.

Mum Joanne and dad Brian, from Oranmore, Galway, Ireland, previously paid €350 (£300) per year for their son's seat and are furious the option has been removed, because he is now deemed to live too close to school.
