Under the terms of the Primary School Transport scheme pupils are eligible for free transport if they reside 3.2 kilometres or more from, and are attending, their nearest national school or school of amalgamation. In the case of amalgamations, pupils residing in a closed school area, may be deemed eligible for transport to the school of amalgamation only.

If the Deputy wishes to supply details in relation to the schools concerned, my Department may be in a position to provide further information.
