252. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will publish the FGS report commissioned in 2008-2009 that investigated direct and indirect charges for school transport. [38678/13]
View answerThe Farrell Grants Sparks (FGS) report entitled "Review of the overhead costs and indirect costs for the administration of the school transport scheme" was completed in October 2009. In completing its work on this report, FGS entered into a signed confidentiality agreement with Bus Éireann having regard to the fact that certain of the information made available to FGS by Bus Éireann was deemed to be commercially sensitive. This issue is at present encompassed by an appeal to the Office of the Information Commissioner.
