Question:323 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the dissatisfaction of parents with the school bus service to Dernakesh national school, servicing comprehensive school, Cootehill, via Shercock Road to Cohan, Bough, Knappagh to Ballybaycross and back through Drokabawn; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that these children are collected on the above routes at 8.30 a.m. to arrive at Dernakesh at 9.10 a.m. with 75 children and that the same bus has then to travel another route to collect 28 children to arrive at Dernakesh National School at 9.45 a.m.; her views on whether the loss of 15 minutes education daily by these 28 students can be justified; and if, in view of the above, she will review this service and give a date when this will be done.
