The transport service for the Dromtine-Lomanagh district was established subject to the conditions that the average daily number of eligible children conveyed would not fall below seven for two consecutive quarters. Reports which have been obtained from CIE and the Department's inspector disclose that this condition was not fulfilled in the December and March quarters. In the circumstances the transport service has been terminated as from the date of the closing of the school for Easter vacation. The school manager was advised on 11th January and 22nd February of the proposed termination of the service.
