The accident referred to by the Deputy was the subject of separate investigations by the Garda and Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport schemes on behalf of my Department. Active consideration is being given by my Department to the measures that may be required to enhance the safety of school transport operations. The circumstances of the accident referred to by the Deputy are being borne in mind in that context.
