My Department understands that the pupil referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied has only recently enrolled in the school in question. The pupil is not eligible for school transport to that school because she resides nearer to another school. The pupil may avail of concessionary fare-paying transport to the school in which she has enrolled subject to the written agreement of the board of management of the nearest school and provided there is a spare seat available on the school bus.
