Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department did not commission any new consultants' or experts' reports on school transport in the past six years.

Details of all consultancy payments by the Department for the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

Details for the years 2015 and 2016 will be published in due course.
