Under the terms of the Primary School Transport Scheme, the pupils referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied are eligible for school transport to the school in question. However, Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport scheme on behalf of the Department, has advised that there is no service operating from the area in which they reside to the school. In the circumstances, the Department has sanctioned a remote area grant towards the cost of private transport arrangements.
