Eamon Gilmore

Question:

198 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education whether consideration has been given to proposals which Deputy Gilmore made in September, 1991, with regard to the provision of free school transport for primary school children from Ballyogan estate in County Dublin; if so, if he will give details of the consideration given; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education (Mr. S. Brennan)

I understand that Bus Éireann are arranging for school transport to be given to eligible children from the Ballyogan estate who attend Sandyford national school. The question of what might be allowed for those attending other schools is still under consideration.
