Question 153: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will investigate the possibility of facilitating, at no additional cost to the service, the transporting of children from a particular location rather than the location from which they are now picked up, in view of the fact that the bus driver passes through the preferred location to its first pick up, where the new location would be cost neutral but would be extremely beneficial in terms of improved safety for the children and the bus driver; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
