My Department has been advised by Bus Éireann and the Transport Liaison Officer for Co. Cork that the children in question are availing of a public transport service and that the combined travel and waiting times for these children are within the guidelines of the Post Primary School Transport Scheme.

As a general rule, special school transport services are not established in areas where scheduled public services already exist.
