There are proposals to extend the Local Link bus route in order to bring students to a national school in north Sligo.
A north Sligo Councillor wants to see the service rerouted to drop-off students at St Aidan’s National School in Ballintrillick in order to facilitates families who require after school care for their children.
The aim of Local Link is to address rural social exclusion and integrate bus services where possible with Bus Éireann and Iarnrod Éireann networks.
Independent Cllr Marie Casserly says using the rural bus service could keep many small schools open.
