Brian Stanley: Eighty seven per cent is a high figure - it was over 90% a few years ago - for schools not owned by the Department. A decade ago, it was well over 90%. Mr. Loftus mentioned a charity. There is a school in Ballyroan that the parish has handed to the community. That is fantastic, but the parish could have done something else with it. There is a very progressive priest in the area, Fr....

Brian Stanley: In an urban area, you might have a school being replaced because there is a new one being built down the road. That is being sold. The original site was owned by the parish. Say it is sold for €200,000. What happens to that?

Brian Stanley: Hold on a second. If the State built the school in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s or 1980s, is there a clawback for the State when it is sold?

Brian Stanley: I will. The spending on this is €225 million for 2020. There is obviously a reduction there because of Covid but it is working out at around €250 per year. I just want a brief answer. What are the implications of the announcement it is going to be free? Were the officials aware of this before the announcement? Is the Department going to be able to be successful enough with...

Brian Stanley: Thanks for that. By and large the scheme works very well. There are problems with it from time to time, and especially this time of the year. Inevitably, some parents will come to us, or schools will come to us and I want to raise this with the officials. I spent the morning of last Monday week trying to get through to the school transport section in the Department in Tullamore or trying...

If Ms Conduit can come back to me with the name and phone number of the contact person in the school transport section in Tullamore, that would be helpful. I wish to address the assistant secretaries here. I am favour of people...
