Vol. 576 No. 1

Written Answers. - School Transport.

Michael Ring

Ceist:

191 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason the transport section of his Department will not allow transport to be provided for persons (details supplied) in County Mayo. [29067/03]

My Department is prepared to offer the family transport grant aid of €351 per annum towards the cost of private transport arrangements from the pupils home to the school. Claims for payment of the grant may be made to my Department's school transport section, Portlaoise Road, Tullamore, at the end of each school term. The claim should be accompanied by a statement from the school outlining the number of days the pupils attended and the number of days the school was open during the period.
