The £10m cross-border plan, designed to tackle waiting lists, came into effect on Monday morning.

"My daughter unfortunately died on a 60mph road with no footpath, with no bus shelter and basically got off her bus on a mucky, grass verge - so the bus pass that she [was] issued, I thought was a death sentence," she said.Ms McMullan was speaking at Stormont where other families who lost loved ones in similar circumstances also shared their support for any legislation to tighten road safety laws.

Calls have been made for new laws to improve school bus safety in Northern Ireland since Caitlin-Rose's death.Ms McMullan said there are "no words to describe" how poor the safety around the bus stop was.She said she's working with the infrastructure minister "to get bus safety out there", and added that: "It's about saving kids' lives."

"I just felt that I had to reach out and do something, because it's not like this isn't going to happen again. It's when will this happen again," she said.There are plans to bring forward legislation to prohibit drivers overtaking school buses which have stopped to drop off or pick up their passengers.

Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said "tragic events" have highlighted the safety of children getting on or off school buses.

"I believe strengthening the law around this issue is an important step in further improving safety for children here," she said.He said his decision was "dictated by my personal sense of responsibility for the tragedy".

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is at the centre of a political firestorm after he approved a law that gives the state the power to expropriate some privately owned land without compensation for owners.The law, which is yet to be implemented, has drawn the ire of US President Donald Trump, who sees it as discriminating against white farmers.

Centre-right political parties and lobby groups in South Africa have also opposed it, saying they will challenge the Expropriation Act – as the law is named – in court on the grounds that it threatens property rights.Ramaphosa's government says the law provides for compensation to be paid in the vast majority of cases – and the changes are needed to increase black ownership of land.
