I take on board what the Minister is saying, but the Government as a whole has a responsibility to ensure that children can come and go to school and that where a service is impacting on children who are going to that school, it is, therefore, an issue of concern to the Minister for Education and Skills if changes such as this are made without any planning with the Department. I implore the Minister to intervene with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, on this issue. Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Bruton, could contact Bus Éireann with regard to the service which has been changed or withdrawn to ask it if it could review the situation in light of the impact it is having on the students, parents and staff in the school in Claddagh.
