Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

Bus Éireann has advised that as there are over 30 school transport services, carrying almost 900 children operating to the schools referred to by the Deputy, the complete list of pick up and set down points is not readily available. If the Deputy has a particular route in mind Bus Éireann will be requested to forward the information directly.
