Written answers

Bus Éireann has advised that there are over 110 schools availing of transport under the closed school rule in County Donegal, of which some 50 schools have children who may be affected. The list of these schools is below. The cohort of eligible CSR children attending these schools will continue to be eligible for transport, subject to meeting the distance criteria and that there is no change in their circumstances. The cessation of eligibility under that rule applies only in the case of children commencing their primary education from September 2012. It should be noted that the decision to implement this change was announced by the previous Fianna Fáil-Green Party Government in the Budget announced in December 2010.
