I propose to take Questions Nos. 1011 and 1029 together.

As the Deputy will be aware, my Department operates a School Transport Scheme to provide transport to pupils attending the nearest available school which can provide an education suitable to their particular needs. The School Transport Scheme is administered by Bus Eireann on behalf of the Department. There is no Scheme currently whereby funding is given for transport for school outings.
