Officials in the transport liaison office at County Louth VEC, which administers the school transport scheme at post-primary level on behalf of my Department, recently confirmed to my Department that an offer of concessionary fare-paying transport has been made to the pupil referred to by the Deputy. It is important to point out that the offer of concessionary fare-paying transport was made subject to a number of conditions, including the availability of a spare seat on the service concerned. Such concessionary transport is not guaranteed from year to year.
