I wish to follow up on the previous comments on school transport. We all understand the reasons for the 31% increase in line with the health restrictions that pertain. However, it is a significant amount of money. Does Bus Éireann have a mechanism for feeding back to us to allow us to ensure value for money for the taxpayer? Does Bus Éireann provide us with information on how the needs of individual children are answered by the increased budget that was put in place?
