Ceist:1171 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in having a school transport grant payment made to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [1525/02]
Written Answers. - School Transport.
My Department arranged a transport service for the pupil in question in September 1999. However, it subsequently emerged that the family chose to transport the pupil to school privately as they considered the service unsuitable.
Arising from further consideration of this case, I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a transport grant has now been approved in respect of the pupil in question.
