58. Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason his Department did not give the Farrell Grant Sparks report on the review of the overhead and indirect costs for the administration of the school transport scheme completed in October 2009 to the EU Commission state aid investigation C31/07; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17156/14]
View answerThe European Commission commenced an investigation with regard to State aid to Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus in 2007. The State's response was coordinated by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and my Department supplied any information to that Department as required by the Commission. Neither the FGS report, nor information relating to, or contained in the report, was sought as part of the investigation.
