The Department of Education provides supports in terms of transport for individual children. There are grants available. The Department spends €289 million a year transporting more than 120,000 children.

Of those, about 15,500 have special educational needs. If there is a specific representation the Deputy wishes to make, I can pass it on to the Minister, Deputy Foley, in the Department.
