In 2005, it was decided that an interim transport arrangement would apply to some students from the Limerick City catchment area attending a post-primary centre in County Limerick pending the outcome of the Area Development Plan for Limerick City and its environs. In December, 2008, on completion of the Area Development Plan, a five year 'road map' for school buildings in Limerick City and environs was published.

The review of catchment boundaries in County Limerick will be considered in the context of this Plan and in the light of the outcome of the Value for Money Review of the School Transport Scheme including catchment boundaries. The Steering Committee to oversee the Value for Money Review of the School Transport Scheme has recently been established. This review of the School Transport Scheme, including catchment boundaries, is in line with the commitment in the Programme for Government. The review will be carried out as part of the 2009-2011 round of Value for Money Reviews recently approved by Government and, when completed, will be published and submitted to the Oireachtas Select Committee on Education and Science.
