To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 233 of 16 October 2012, if the parent in question will be recompensed for the expenses incurred through transporting the child to school during the period when the service was withdrawn. [46626/12]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 62 and 63 together.

Bus Éireann has advised that the parent was verbally informed of the situation regarding transport for the child in question at the end of the last school year. The family was offered a special transport grant to cover the cost of private transport arrangements while Bus Éireann was examining the provision of an alternative service. This service has now been sanctioned.
