My Department does not directly audit the Bus Éireann inspector's charges.
Bus Éireann has advised that for 2014 and prior years the audit opinion provided by Bus Éireann's external auditors states that the financial information of Bus Éireann's School Transport Scheme, which includes a charge in respect of School Transport Inspectors, is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Summary of Accounting Arrangements relating to the Transport Scheme for Primary and Post-Primary School Children dated 1 January 1975.
