Vol. 468 No. 1

Written Answers. - Special Transport Grant.

Mary Wallace

Ceist:

138 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Education if a parent (details supplied) in County Meath, who has a daughter of school-going age who uses a wheelchair, will be reimbursed at least an element of the special transport grant of which he was unaware until earlier this year, for at least the most recent school year in view of the nine years for which he did not claim the grant. [14494/96]

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that a medical grant has been sanctioned with effect from September 1995 for the child in question. The child's mother was notified accordingly by my Department on 28 December 1995.

Payment of the grant will be processed immediately on receipt of the statement of attendance from the school authorities in respect of the school year 1995-96.
