Thousands of families around the country are still waiting to hear if their kids will have a place on a school bus this year.
There was a massive surge in demand for places after the Government announced it would waive school transport fees for the year.
A record 130,000 applications for the scheme has been received, with one local councillor calling for the army to be brought in to solve the crisis.
Emma O'Regan's children attend school in Newbridge.
