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 national school as determined by my Department, are eligible for free school transport.

The position in this case is that the child referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, is not attending his nearest national school and, therefore, is not eligible for free school transport. In that regard, it is not possible, under the terms of the scheme to waive the charge for concessionary transport.
