Ivor Callely

Question:

151 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education and Science the early indications and feedback from the new arrangements in place in Dublin for pupils under the school transport scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the large number of complaints in relation to the service in the Dublin 3, 5 and 9 areas; and the procedures in place for concerned parents or pupils to make any complaints or suggestions regarding the school transport. [20244/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

The organisation of the public scheduled services in the Dublin area is operated by Bus Átha Cliath and is not under my Department's remit. I have referred the matter to them and requested that they reply directly to the Deputy.
