Bus Éireann, which operates the School Transport Schemes, on behalf of my Department, has identified 3 services (11 pupils) in County Cavan where the number of eligible pupils has fallen below the minimum number required to retain a school transport service. Bus Éireann is monitoring the situation and this figure may change if late applications are received or current applicants do not purchase tickets.
