Under the terms of my Department's School Transport Scheme children are eligible for transport where they:

have special educational needs arising from a diagnosed disability in accordance with the designation of high and low incidence disability set out in Department of Education and Skill's (DES) Circular 02/05 and

are attending the nearest recognised: mainstream school, special class/special school or a unit, that is or can be resourced, to meet their special educational needs.

There are no plans to change the terms of this scheme and school transport or grant assistance will continue to be provided for eligible children.
