I was not at the Joint Committee on Education and Skills this morning and so I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister on his new role and post. I wish him every success with it. I always believe in working constructively with people and I look forward to doing that in future.

My question is exactly as set out. Will the Minister explain the reason several children in my constituency in Kilkenny – specifically, they are from the Paulstown, Gowran and Ballyhale areas - are having serious difficulties with school transport? This was raised some weeks ago at the Joint Committee on Education and Skills. Unfortunately, they are still experiencing those difficulties. I am keen to get the Minister's response.
