Question:53 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Education her views on whether an eight year old handicapped child (details supplied) in County Cork is entitled to transport from her home to the special class as the Presentation Convent in Bandon 14 miles away and that an arrangement to have her picked up over three miles from her home is altogether unacceptable; and if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the child may have to discontinue education because her parents will not be able to avail of the grant towards private transport costs; and if she will now arrange to have this child picked up at her home and brought to school for the future.
