Under the terms of my Department's School Transport Scheme for Children with Special Educational Needs children are eligible for transport where they are attending the nearest recognised: mainstream school, special class/special school or a unit, that is or can be resourced, to meet their special educational needs. In this case, the child in question is not attending her nearest school and is therefore not eligible for school transport. Children who are not eligible for school transport may apply for transport on a concessionary basis subject to a number of terms and conditions. In this regard, Bus Éireann has advised that there is an existing service on which this child can be accommodated; the annual charge is €350 per year and can be paid in two instalments.
