Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Review of the Reopening of Schools (Resumed)
Norma Foley (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
As I already outlined, our arrangement is with Bus Éireann, and from a school transport point of view, we cater for 120,000 children and 5,000 vehicles. Some 14,200 of those children have special needs. We engage with them on an ongoing basis where issues arise, in particular issues that have been flagged by NPHET in the recent past in terms of additionality and capacity. Specifically, in relation to the ongoing negotiation and discussion with Bus Éireann, I will ask Ms Aoife Conduit, who has responsibility for that, to speak.
