Question:

303 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Education and Science if assistance will be provided to parents in the Clondalkin, Dublin 22 area who at considerable cost to themselves have provided private bus transport to enable their children to be educated at a gaelscoil (details supplied) and who cannot continue to do so due to the fact the school authorities can no longer subsidise the transport costs.

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

I regret that the information requested by the Deputy is not available at present because of an industrial dispute in my Department. I will arrange to have the information forwarded to the Deputy.
