I have a very specific question about St. John the Baptist school and hospital in County Limerick and about the Caherconlish, Ballyneety, Donaghmore and Fedamore areas.In my view, these concessionaries should be eligible because as we have a common applications system in the city, many of them will not be eligible for those schools anyway. Their local school is St. John the Baptist. An educational system should facilitate children being transported to their local school. I ask the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan, to engage with the local Bus Éireann public transport service in Limerick on the provision of school transport for these 20 children. While we will need to review the system going forward, I ask that the Minister of State give urgent consideration to the needs of the 20 children in Limerick who currently do not have school transport to their local school.
