Denis Naughten: In response to another parliamentary question on this matter on 19 February, the Minister of State said she was finalising a review designed to identify efficiencies and savings within the school transport service.

School Transport. (30 Mar 2004)

Denis Naughten: I take it that included in the Minister of State's considerations are increases to the charges which families must face.
