Under the terms of my Department's Post Primary School Transport Scheme, children are eligible for transport where they reside not less than 4.8 kilometres from and are attending their nearest education centre as determined by my Department/Bus Éireann, having regard to ethos and language.

I have asked Bus Éireann to verify the factual position in relation to the child in question. I will then contact the Deputy directly to outline the position on this matter.
