I wish to inform the deputy that the costs associated with transporting students to and from the school in question following a tragic accident in August 2019 were approximately €76k (incl. VAT) for the 2019-2020 school year.
In order to facilitate physical distancing arrangements on the buses, the cost has been proportionately higher in the current school year. Approximately €85k (incl. VAT) has been expended on this service in the current school year to date.
It is anticipated that the current arrangement will no longer be required shortly.
