The School Transport Scheme, which is operated by Bus Éireann on behalf of my Department, facilitates eligible children travelling to Primary and Post Primary schools. The person referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, should liaise, in the first instance, with the local Transport Liaison Officer but it appears from the information supplied that she would not qualify for transport under the terms of the relevant school transport schemes.
