The Deputy will be aware that under the terms of my Department's Primary School Transport Scheme, children are eligible for transport where they reside not less than 3.2 kms from and are attending their nearest national school as determined by my Department/Bus Éireann, having regard to ethos and language. These eligibility criteria are applied equitably on a national basis to all children attending a national school.
