The Board of Management of the school referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, submitted the names and addresses of a number of pupils who wished to avail of a school transport service. This list was forwarded by my Department to Bus Éireann, which operates the School Transport Scheme, in order to determine these pupils' eligibility for school transport.

Following this determination, School Transport Section sanctioned the establishment of a school transport service for the relevant number of eligible pupils concerned.
