Ireland is taking steps to strengthen its school transport system by expanding opportunities for experienced bus drivers. The government has announced that the retirement age for certain school transport drivers will increase from 70 to 72 years, helping retain skilled professionals in the workforce.
This change supports continuity and reliability in school transportation, allowing experienced drivers to continue serving students safely. Officials say the move will help ensure that school transport services remain stable and dependable across the country.
By keeping experienced drivers on the road longer, Ireland is reinforcing its commitment to safe and reliable journeys for students every day.
