Bobby Aylward
Question:323. Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to a previous parliamentary question and the definition of a "distinct locality", the minimum number of ten children to form the basis of creating a school transport route and the importance to the very fabric of rural communities; to provide a clear definition by reference to measurable, quantifiable criteria such as distance within a certain amount of meters or kilometers by public road networks, or within a parish, or a townland and or within a measurable radius, or line of road and not use terminology such as "this definition is commonly understood" when it is not commonly understood and is a subjective test as there is in fact no definition in place that can be said to be within a rule or outside a rule and that could be subject to review by the courts and or the Ombudsman; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
