Bus Éireann, which operates the School Transport Scheme, on behalf of my Department has advised that the child in question was incorrectly categorised as ineligible for school transport under the terms of the Post Primary School Transport Scheme. This error has been rectified and Bus Éireann is now making arrangements for this child to avail of free school transport.
