Under the post-primary school transport scheme, post-primary routes are in general planned so that no eligible pupil will have more than 3.2 km — 2 miles — to travel to a pick up point. On the basis of information outlined by the Deputy in the details supplied, my Department understands that the families concerned reside less than 3.2 km — 2 miles — from the present pick up points. This arrangement is within the school transport scheme guidelines.
