When will the school transport review be published? One of the reasons I ask is that there are 250 students, rising to 300 next September, attending Sancta Maria College in Louisburgh. As it stands, it costs €850 for one child, €1,452 for two children and €1,800 for three children to get to school. Parents want to send their children to the nearest co-educational school, which is that school. We need flexibility around school transport. We need the recommendations made in the review to be implemented this year. The costs are frightening for those trying to access education.
