Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
The Government has defended its decision to increase school bus charges from next September.

We are also seeing the reintroduction of exam fees for Junior and Leaving Cert students...
Joining Shane to discuss is Darren O’Rourke, Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Education and Youth, and TD for Meath East.
