The Report on the Value for Money Review of School Transport Services was published last March and is available on my Department's website. This Review identified that, in 2008, the annual unit cost per pupil for the provision of school transport was some €1,000, €950 and €7,000 for primary, post primary and children with special educational needs respectively. The breakdown of pupil costs on a per County basis is not readily available.
