Why is this national news… More than 3 ambulances in attendance, makes it a “Major Incident”… Meh?!
Always woke words from police…always an incident
Never a clear description..as a car crash..plane crash..rape…murder..
Always some vague wishy washy description…minus the mention of skin colour..or Mislim..type

Were these even Irish children? Are there any real Irish people left?
No one is talking about the bus driver. Where is he and how is he?
The righteous and the unrighteous shall turn against Israel. The Lord said it was going to happen, and it is -wake up.
Oh God, heal the wounded, O Healer, O Lord
So what caused the accident?
Please let the children be safe.
