Luke 'Ming' Flanagan
Question:60. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills in view of the Ombudsman’s ruling in dealing with school transport that there is an onus on public bodies to provide fair and transparent procedures and that the current system regarding the pickup density of pupils in a distinct locality is decided on a basis without an objective published criterion or any rule to define a distinct locality for ten pupils in an area at the personal discretion of Bus Éireann employee and that his Department’s website indicates that a distinct locality is simply what Bus Éireann says it is and in order to comply with the ombudsman’s ruling the action he will take on that matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
