View answerUnder the terms of my Department's Post Primary School Transport Scheme, children are eligible for transport where they reside not less than 4.8 kilometres from and are attending their nearest Post Primary School/Education Centre as determined by the Department/Bus Éireann, having regard to ethos and language.
Bus Éireann has advised that, based on current applications, there are no plans to change the service in question for the 2016/17 school year.
