540. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she has received correspondence from the Galway section of the schools transport section of Bus Éireann relating to problems being experienced in the Oranmore area whereby children are consistently late for schools because of the addition of a new school and the effect this has had on the old school transport timetable which has not been updated to reflect the additional numbers; if on receipt of such correspondence she will provide the necessary direction to Bus Éireann to immediately reconfigure the services; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Bus Éireann, which operates the School Transport Scheme on behalf of my Department, is responsible for the timetabling and scheduling of services.

Officials in my Department are aware of the issues outlined by the Deputy and have requested that Bus Éireann address the timetabling issues as a matter of urgency.
