That is brilliant. I have emailed a few times but have not had any answer.
Tá ceist agam maidir leis na páistí atá ag freastal ar scoileanna T1. I am looking for clarification. As we are aware, the demand for Irish language-medium schools is increasing. I know of situations where children have not been accepted into their closest Gaelscoil, although I understand this is under a different rule. If they are not accepted and can prove that, are they eligible for school transport to the next school? Are the criteria different for Gaelscoileanna? Is there a set number of kilometres or anything like that?
