Under the terms of my Department's Primary School Transport Scheme, pupils who reside 3.2 kilometres or more from, and are attending, their nearest suitable national school as determined by my Department, are eligible for free school transport. There is no provision in the Scheme for my Department to sanction either transport or grant-aid for pupils in the circumstances outlined by the Deputy.
