Under the terms of my Department's Primary School Transport Scheme, pupils who reside 3.2 kilometres or more from, and are attending, their nearest suitable national school, as determined by my Department, are eligible for free school transport. My Department has requested Bus Éireann, which operates the School Transport Scheme, to provide a report regarding the eligibility of the pupil referred to, by the Deputy, in the details supplied. When this report is received and examined the Department will contact the Deputy with a more detailed reply.
