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