Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science (Miss de Valera)

Bus Éireann has informed my Department that there are currently 106 vehicles providing school transport services in County Meath. It is too early to indicate the number of additional vehicles, if any, that may be required for the 2006/07 school year as applications for school transport are still being processed.
