The terms of the school transport schemes are of general application and are applied without distinction as to category of school. The scheme for primary schools provides that, in the case of pupils who are attending all-Irish or multi-denominational schools, eligibility for transport is determined by reference to the distance to the nearest such school. It is my intention that these arrangements should continue to apply.
