A new school transport service for the child referred to by the Deputy has been sanctioned by my Department in accordance with the terms of the School Transport Scheme for Children with Special Educational Needs.

Bus Éireann has advised that a service will be in place shortly and the local office in Limerick (phone, 061 217484) will contact the family directly.
