Amharc ar fhreagraThe families to whom the Deputy refers reside between 0.5 miles and 1.3 miles from the bus route and have a level of service within my Department's 1.5 mile guideline. In the circumstances, a re-routing of service at additional cost is not warranted. However, one of the families concerned has expressed an interest in a payable extension/re-routing by the parents, and details of costs and terms and conditions have been explained to them.
