Theresa Ahearn

Question:

415 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will provide details on school transport to Carrick-on-Suir Gaelscoil, County Tipperary; if transport will be provided for persons (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15076/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

Applications for transport and grant-aid can only be considered for pupils attending schools, which have been granted permanent recognition by my Department. Carrick-on-Suir Gaelscoil has not been granted permanent recognition from my Department at present.

Transport arrangements for the family in question can be re-examined in the event that Carrick-on-Suir Gaelscoil is awarded permanent recognition.
