I welcome what the Minister of State has just said. There are also cases like this in Deputy Bobby Aylward's constituency. As the Minister of State said himself, the pass in question may be impassable for considerable periods of time. The Minister of State makes the rules and I hope he can change them following engagement with Deputy McConalogue and others. If a pass is impassable for substantial periods of the school year, it must be dealt with.
