The family in question reside 2.7 miles from Durrow national school, which is their nearest school, and 3.7 miles from Ballykilmurray national school which they attend. One of the children is at present accommodated on the service to Ballykilmurray on a concessionary basis, but as the bus in question is carrying a capacity load it is not possible to give similar facilities to the other children at present. The position is being kept under review and every effort will be made to facilitiate them as soon as possible.
