Ceist:256 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim is not in receipt of school bus transport from his home. [16334/97]
Written Answers. - School Transport.
The child in question lives 1.5 miles from the pick-up point of the school transport service. This is considered to be a reasonable and adequate level of service in the context of the general operation of the school transport scheme. Accordingly, I regret that the present arrangement is the most that can be offered.

The pupils concerned live 0.2 miles from the existing pick-up point and this is considered to represent a very reasonable level of service in the context of the overall operation of the school transport scheme. Accordingly, I regret that the present arrangement is the most that can be offered.
