Question:

46 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Science if school transport will be provided for students of at least nine different families from Radestown, Ballyfoyle, Kilkenny, who attend schools in Kilkenny city; if the distances and routes will be re-examined with a view to providing some means of transport or an extension of some routes which run close to this location; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

My Department is not aware of the families to whom the Deputy refers. On receipt of the names and addresses or the families, and the names of the schools which their children are attending, the matter may be examined in detail by my Department. All relevant details may be forwarded to my Department's school transport section, Portlaoise Road, Tullamore, County Offaly.
