In general primary school transport routes are planned by Bus Éireann so that, as far as possible, no eligible pupil will have more than 2.4 kilometres to travel to a pick up point.

The school transport service provided to the family referred to in the details supplied by the Deputy is within this guideline. My Department understands from Bus Éireann that an extension to the existing service is not feasible due to operational reasons.
