Ceist:264 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason school transport was refused to a person with autism from Dublin 11 (details supplied) in view of the fact that the child had already attended a pre-school unit in Our Lady of Consolation, Donnycarney and had been accepted to start junior infants there in September 2003; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is no other school nearer to the person's home that can meet their needs; and if he will take immediate steps to restore this transport.
