Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

My Department has recently being made aware of the inconvenience caused to the children in question due to road closures.

Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport scheme on behalf of my Department, has been requested to furnish a comprehensive report on the matter.

As soon as this report has been received and considered, my Department will respond to the Deputy.
