Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

76. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if further consideration will be given, in view of the hardship caused, to the provision of free bus transport in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who previously had access to such transport in travelling to their previous school; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

I understand that the person referred to by the Deputy will be completing his education at the school which he currently attends at the end of this school year. As I further understand the person in question will thereafter attend a facility which caters for adults, the provision of school transport does not arise.
