PJ CooganHOST
Now, yesterday morning, David was on the show with me telling me about his little boy, Aiden.
PJ CooganHOST
And they live in Carrigaline.
PJ CooganHOST
Aiden goes to school at Cara, which is in Mayfield.
PJ CooganHOST
And Aiden had, up to last June, when school broke up for the holidays, he had transport, and now all of a sudden, he doesn't, as David explained to me.
DavidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I actually live in Carrigaline, and the school is in Mayfield.
DavidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If I, if I could drop him locally to the school every morning, I'd love to, uh, on my way to dropping my daughter to her school.
PJ CooganHOST
Yeah.
7 MINS LATER
PJ CooganHOST
David was the situation with Aidan.
PJ CooganHOST
Uh, an all too familiar problem, David, to, to, to us, but, but indeed, uh, not to you.
PJ CooganHOST
Your, your little boy, Aiden, you're in Carrigaline.
PJ CooganHOST
Your little boy goes to Cara, that wonderful, wonderful school on the north side.
PJ CooganHOST
He's supposed to have transport, but he doesn't.
David RoseAUDIENCE
I think Cara's Junior School is one of the most wonderful special needs schools you could imagine.
David RoseAUDIENCE
Colette Butler, the principal, and Claire O'Gorman, the vice principal, are, are wonderful, and I, I'm dealing with just...
David RoseAUDIENCE
I, I actually live in Carrigaline, and the school is in Mayfield, and, you know, special needs children don't get given local school places.
David RoseAUDIENCE
We have to fight for any school place, and we have to pretty much take any special needs place available.
PJ CooganHOST
An all-too-familiar problem, David, to us, but indeed not to you.
PJ CooganHOST
Your little boy, Aidan, you're in Carrigaline.
PJ CooganHOST
Your little boy goes to Cara, that wonderful, wonderful school on the north side.
PJ CooganHOST
He's supposed to have a transport, but he doesn't.

David RoseGUEST
But, you know, when the government go away and create an artificial situation where my son can't go to school around the corner, like every other child, you know i see children getting on their scooters and scooting to school and it's wonderful my son is all the way over the other side of the city and the government let us down i mean in my mind's eye i would imagine the moment the tender falls through they should have somebody backed up already already cleared and ready to make an offer for
PJ CooganHOST
your family now and you're talking to someone david who a lived in carrigaline for 10 years before it started to mushroom and and now I'm there every morning anyway because I visit the swimming pool every morning.
PJ CooganHOST
So I know what it's like to leave Carrigaline at peak time to try to get across town to go to work or go to school.
PJ CooganHOST
What's your morning routine like? It must be a nightmare.
PJ CooganHOST
I mean, just this morning, just this morning, I took another call [clears throat] from a man whose son has a place in a wonderful school here on the north side of the city called Cara.
PJ CooganHOST
They live in Carrigaline.
PJ CooganHOST
Up to June, her, his little boy had a bus.
PJ CooganHOST
Now, they've no bus.
Matthew HurleyHOST
They definitely do, and it is a very entertaining game to look forward to on Saturday evening, the second of the double header of the Premier Senior semi-finals.
Matthew HurleyHOST
And just to mention, the first of the double header as well, Nemo Rangers against Carrigaline on Saturday at 5:15, uh, PM.
Matthew HurleyHOST
Carrigaline might have interest down here because obviously Brian O'Driscoll's one of their main players in the team.
Matthew HurleyHOST
They've won every game so far.
Matthew HurleyHOST
They're at their first ever Premier Senior semi-final, but at the same time, they're coming up against a Nemo Rangers team that produced an unbelievable performance against Castlehaven, to be fair to them, in the quarter finals.
Matthew HurleyHOST
Again, similar enough to Clonakilty, Ca- Carrigaline will go into this as underdogs, but amazingly they're unbeaten, so they definitely have a chance against this Nemo side.
Kieran McCarthyHOST
They do, yeah, 100%.
Kieran McCarthyHOST
Like Carrigaline have been really impressive in the, in the championship so far.
Grace O'BrienGUEST
Um, I run a support group for moms and babies.
Grace O'BrienGUEST
I actually used to work in CUMH, um, nursing and midwifery, and I used to work in the, uh, community-led midwife clinics in Gránabrough and Carrigaline.
Grace O'BrienGUEST
But 2020 changed a lot for me, and I set up a support group for moms and babies, which is entirely free, that are all my clients, and I moved into private practice.
PJ CooganHOST
Mm-hmm.

PJ CooganHOST
Mm-hmm.
PJ CooganHOST
Her question is a simple one.
PJ CooganHOST
What on earth are we paying for? She describes a daily reality of buses filled to crush capacity leaving Carrigaline, packed to the brim before they're even out of the village.
PJ CooganHOST
At Herons Wood then and up Maryborough Hill there's dozens of people, workers, students, college goers, old people, just stranded there in the rain and the cold and As full bus after full bus, Joe's passed.
PJ CooganHOST
And then the 225 rolls by empty.
PJ CooganHOST
Another thing she points out to several times in her correspondence is driver changeovers and scheduled breaks right in the middle of the evening rush on the Grand Parade where the passengers literally are turned away from buses because there's no relief driver.
PJ CooganHOST
Drivers finished his shift, relief driver hasn't showed, bus off duty, driver gone, people standing again on the pavement.
PJ CooganHOST
On top of that, 13 kilometres from the city out to Carrigaline routinely takes over an hour and 10 minutes.
PJ CooganHOST
And we're paying for this.
Paul ByrneHOST
about the side streets, we'll say, they're closed off from 11 o'clock in the morning till 6 in the evening, I think it is.
Paul ByrneHOST
I don't want to put you on the spot by any means, Clara, but are people being dissentivised from coming into the city? Are they being put off and say, I won't get a spot here on Cook Street or whatever, this Marlborough Street, after 11 I'll go down to Mahon, I'll go to Carrigaline, I'll go to Middleton?
