Bus Éireann is responsible for the planning and timetabling of school transport routes. Bus Éireann endeavours, within available resources, to ensure that each eligible child has a reasonable level of school transport service in the context of the Scheme nationally. Where practicable, and subject to considerations of cost and logistics, routes are planned to avoid an eligible child having to travel more than 2.4 kms to or from a pick up/set down point. Parents are responsible for ensuring that children are brought safely to and collected safely from Bus Éireann designated pick up and set down points. As Bus Éireann has advised that the family in question have a service within the above guidelines, it not proposed to alter the current arrangement.
