Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

The purpose of my Department's School Transport Schemes is, having regard to available resources, to support the transport to and from school of children who reside remote from their nearest school. The terms of the School Transport Schemes are applied equitably on a national basis and I have no plans to review the schemes.
