Vol. 570 No. 2

Written Answers. - School Transport.

Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

266 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Science if free transport will be sanctioned for persons in the Cherry Orchard area (details supplied) until they have their own school. [18397/03]

My Department has examined the situation regarding school transport for pupils from the Cherry Orchard area to the schools in Ballyfermot on a number of occasions over the years. The pupils in question are within two miles of their nearest suitable school and are not eligible for transport under the terms of the scheme.

It is therefore not open to my Department to offer transport.
