The child referred to by the Deputy is eligible for school transport under the terms of my Department's School Transport Scheme for Children with Special Educational Needs. In this regard my Department has sanctioned a Special Transport Grant for the family to cover the cost of private transport arrangements.

In general, this grant is payable at the end of the school year upon receipt of a correctly completed Statement of Attendance Form.
