Parents angry at moves SOME 180 Le Cheile pupils who get school buses are stranded this week - because their summer holidays don't start until June 30th. Many of them will not be able to finish the academic year because they live so far away from the Educate Together school which is in Mornington.
Angry parents who have been lobbying Louth VEC which administers the transport scheme, have been told to direct their views to the school authorities.
'I am a working mother and while I can take my child to school in the mornings, I don't know how I am going to get her home again. It is crazy because I know a lot of those kids will just not go to school for the last week and that means they won't get a chance to say good-bye to their friends and teachers,' said one Le Cheile parent.
Padraig Kirk, CEO, Louth VEC said it never planned school transport arrangements past June 23rd when a number of other Meath East schools close for the holidays.
