Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth
School Transport Scheme: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Stephen Kent:
As the Senator said, there can be stops. The scheme is rural in nature and we have many hail and rides. They are there without any particular infrastructure. As the Senator knows, there is a governmental programme to continue putting proper infrastructure in across the State, but that is a long-term process. Those issues there, though, would always be safety assessed by our own team of supervisors. Where we put this in, we just try to make sure we are doing it with the lowest risk possible.
