164. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills when a decision will issue regarding an appeal made by the parents of children living in Urris, County Donegal, who attend or will be attending a school (details supplied) in County Donegal, and who have been advised that their nearest school is now in Buncrana, as Bus Éireann used a route over Mamore Gap when calculating the nearest school; if she will ensure that this decision is overturned; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The issue referred to by the Deputy is subject of appeal to the School Transport Appeals Board.
The School Transport Appeals Board is independent of my Department and it would not be appropriate for me to intervene in cases which are due for consideration by the Board.
