Josie Kissane’s two sons attend Kilgobnet National School in Beaufort. They’ve applied for school bus transport but are currently deemed ineligible. To determine eligibility for a school bus ticket, Bus Éireann measures the shortest traversable route from the child's home and this may not be less than 3.2 kilometres from the school. Bus Eireann has calculated that shortest traversable route for the Kissane children is 2 kilometres from Kilgobnet NS. However, Ms Kissane says this route is not traversable as it is on a bog road and the children must cross a stream.
