Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

This case is currently under examination by my Department, with particular attention to the needs of the child, and what arrangements, if any, could be made with regard to school transport. My Department will communicate with the Deputy, and inform him of the outcome as soon as the investigation has been completed.
