School transport for children with specific learning disabilities who meet the Department's criteria is generally provided to the school nearest to the pupil's residence in which resources can be, or may already have been, allocated to support the child's educational needs.

My Department is examining the background to the enrolment of four children, referred to in the letter from the person named in the details supplied. When this examination is completed, a decision will be made on the eligibility of the pupils for school transport and a letter will then be issued to the person in question.
