Okay. Updated health advice from NPHET has an impact on the operation of post-primary school transport services. The Government decided that the arrangements made for primary school transport schemes will proceed as planned when schools reopen and these services will operate fully with additional measures in place, such as preassigned seating and additional hygiene and cleaning measures.

The post-primary scheme has also commenced operation with additional measures in place, such as preassigned seating and other measures I have outlined in line with those required on public transport, which is using 50% of passenger capacity, for post-primary services as required. The Department is rolling out that facility in the shortest time possible.
