Under the terms of the Post Primary School Transport Scheme pupils are eligible for transport if they reside 4.8 kilometres or more from and are attending their appropriate post primary centre.

My Department has requested the Transport Liaison Officer for County Mayo to provide a report on the pupil referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied.

The Deputy should be aware that only eligible pupils from families with medical cards are exempt from school transport charges.
