asked the Minister for Education the reason her Department has refused to give sanction for transport to the school for the deaf at Rossbrien, Limerick, for a person (details supplied) in County Limerick on a five-day week basis; if she is aware that transport is provided for this child for three days a week only and her parents are unable to provide transport to the proposed pickup point five miles away on Mondays or Fridays; and if she will ensure that full and adequate transport facilities will be provided for this person immediately.

It has not been possible to date to provide a full transport service for this child on all days of the week due to the timetable constraints and the non-availability of the transport vehicle for this purpose on Monday morning and Friday evening because of its use for the transport of another child at week-ends.
The matter is being kept under review in respect of seeing whether it may be possible to secure an improved transport service for the child in the coming school year.
