Abstract
We define a notion of connection in a fibre bundle that is compatible with a singular foliation of the base. Fibre bundles equipped with such connections are in plentiful supply, arising naturally for any Lie groupoid-equivariant bundle, and simultaneously generalising regularly foliated bundles in the sense of Kamber-Tondeur and singular foliations. We define hierarchies of diffeological holonomy groupoids associated to such bundles, which arise from the parallel transport of jet/germinal conservation laws. We show that the groupoids associated in this manner to trivial singularly foliated bundles are quotients of Androulidakis-Skandalis holonomy groupoids, which coincide with Androulidakis-Skandalis holonomy groupoids in the regular case. Finally we prove functoriality of all our constructions under appropriate morphisms.

Key words: singular foliation; connection; holonomy; diffeology.
