Many parents in Ireland are upset over the restrictions to only provide school transport to pupils who live more than three miles from their primary or secondary school.
Meath Chronicle reported that students in the catchment area of Colaiste na hInse in Laytown will lose out as they live just under the three-mile zone from the educational facility.
Speaking to the newspaper, mother Irene O'Donnell said that the regulation was "an old rule and it should be done away with".
Operated by Bus Eireann throughout Ireland, the scheme is carefully monitored, with limited capacity on each school bus.
