David

We are a Primary School in the parish of Newmarket-on-Fergus with 165 children on our roll. As with all rural country schools, transport to and from various sporting events, school tours, numerous other activities, is part of day to day running of our school. The transport company we use is of crucial importance in order to transport our pupils safely to and from these events. For over ten years now we have been using ‘Brigdale Coaches’ as our main transport provider. The quality of service they provide us with is of a very high standard. Their buses are very new and clean. They are of a very high standard, fitted with seat belts etc. The staff are easy to deal with, always so courteous and professional. They offer good value for money and above all safety is of a very high standard. All of their drivers are garda vetting which is hugely important when working with children. The drivers are kind and friendly towards our pupils and always very patient. They also comply with all the child protection laws and have issued the school with a copy of all legal documentation. I have no problem with highly recommending ‘Brigdale Coaches’ and wish them continued success.
