I propose to take Questions Nos. 183, 203, 217 and 231 together.
The school transport review committee will be chaired by an independent chairperson, and will include representatives from my Department, Bus Éireann and the transport liaison officers.
All parties interested in the delivery of school transport services, including the Federation of Transport Operators, will be given the opportunity as part of the consultative process to put forward their views and will be invited to make submissions to the review group.
