318 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Transport the reason school transport scheme discriminates between the LUAS light-rail service and other public transport companies under the management of CIÉ in terms of permitting children to get subsidised transport when travelling to and from school; his views on the fact that a large number of children travel to school every day by LUAS and that their parents have to pay sums of money to do so; the steps being taken to resolve this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The provision or otherwise of discounted fares to school children or students on Luas or other public transport services referred to by the Deputy is a day–to-day matter for the relevant operator and I have no function in relation to the matter.
