Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

I can understand that a new service takes some time to be established, but what is an acceptable length of time in the Minister of State's opinion? Is three months far too long? It is from my point of view. I can understand there are difficulties with resources and so on and that new services may have to be set up, but in the case with which I am familiar, there were five children in the same school having difficulties, and that was just one school. There are other schools, I presume, that are having similar difficulties. All I am asking is whether the Minister of State can investigate, through his officials, what the main difficulty is for Bus Éireann or whoever else is involved and whether there is a way of fast-tracking the establishment of such services.
