Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

Bus Éireann which operates the school transport scheme on behalf of my Department has advised that the family in question were late in submitting their payment details.

Unfortunately, by the time the details were received the service was operating to capacity in that all of the seats had been allocated.
