677 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a letter from Deputy Currie dated 5 January 2001, acknowledged on 16 January 2001 and 25 January 2001, on behalf of parents in the Lucan, County Dublin, area who are concerned about school transport, has not elicited a reply; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
