If it could because the other side of it relates to my constituency - but it will not be mine the next time - where schools in Bawnboy and Belturbet in Cavan are eing closed and the pupils moved to another school in the larger town of Ballyconnell. I wonder about the wisdom of these policies where on the other side of the policy house we have serious difficulties - and will have into the future - because of urban pressures.

The issue of the closest school criteria has jarred with me, and I raise the particular query due to an education grant aid query I had. With regard to the distance from one's house to the school or the university is Google Earth or Google Maps now the standard that the State or the Department embraces as the benchmark?
