Vol. 503 No. 1
123 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education and Science the proposed changes to the school public transport service arrangements as provided by Bus Átha Cliath in the Dublin area; the implications of the proposed changes; if the same service and fare structure will apply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9092/99]
I understand that Bus Átha Cliath will commence a replacement programme in the Dublin area with effect from Monday, 19 April 1999, which will benefit fare paying pupils, including those being accommodated under the school transport scheme.
As the organisation of public scheduled services in the Dublin area is operated by Bus Átha Cliath and is not under my Department's remit, I have referred the matter to that company and requested that it reply directly to the Deputy.
