Mr. O'Malley
Cruit Island is connected by a bridge to the mainland. The school there was closed in August, 1964 due to the small enrolment of pupils. It was not considered at that time that a transport service was needed to convey the children to Belcruit national school.
I am arranging to have the matter investigated with a view to ascertaining whether the setting up of such a service would be justified at present.
