The net value of payments made to Bus Éireann for the operation of the school transport scheme, after the deduction of receipts from fare-paying passengers, for the years in question are as follows: 2000 €60.157 million 2001 €70.928 m 2002 €88.739 m 2003 €92.520 m 2004 €94.664 m 2005 €106.005 m 2006 €126.226 m 2007 €146.620 m 2008 €162.793 m
I understand from Bus Éireann that the 2009 account is currently being finalised. No further payments are made directly by my Department's School Transport Section to any subsidiaries of CIE.
