Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

My Department has recently received an application for the provision of a special transport service for the pupil in question.

Bus Éireann, who operates the transport service on behalf of my Department, is currently investigating the provision of this service. Following receipt of a report from Bus Éireann, the child's family will be contacted regarding proposed transport arrangements.
