I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I recently met with a representative from the parents committee and local public representatives to discuss the transport issues referred to.

The Deputy will be aware that the Programme for Government includes a commitment to review the school transport scheme, including catchment boundaries. My Department is currently considering how best to progress this task.
