School buses are an important service for many children and their parents, particularly in rural Ireland.

Buses will be filled with thousands of children and teenagers from next week despite new advice not to take public transport.

But what effect will this have? Will it possible to implement social distancing and other hygiene measures on our school buses?

To discuss this we were joined by Lee-Anne Kierans, spokesperson for the Association of Irish Private School Bus Operators, whose company is Kierans Of Drogheda, and Thomas O'Connor of the National Bus and Rail Union.
