Vol. 548 No. 5

Written Answers. - School Transport.

Sean Fleming

Question:

420 Mr. Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Science if a school bus route can be extended to pick up a person (details supplied) in County Laois at this person's home. [5375/02]

The pupil concerned resides 0.5 miles from the nearest pick up point on an existing service. The school bus servicing the route does not pass her home either in the morning or afternoon. This is considered to be a reasonable level of service in the general context of the scheme. As extra State cost would be incurred by extending the service and a number of other pupils would be inconvenienced the present arrangement is the most that may be offered.
