Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 January 2016
459. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills to review the school transport arrangements for a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3277/16]
View answerThe child referred to by the Deputy is eligible for school transport under the terms of my Department's School Transport Scheme for Children with Special Educational Needs. Bus Éireann is responsible for the planning and timetabling of school transport routes and endeavours, within available resources, to ensure that each eligible child has a reasonable level of school transport service. Bus Éireann has advised that the child in question is accommodated on a service with one other child and an escort on board and is considered to have a reasonable level of service in the context of the scheme nationally.
