School transport is a significant operation managed by Bus Éireann on behalf of the Department.

Currently almost 116,000 children, including some 12,000 children with special educational needs, are being transported in over 4,000 vehicles on a daily basis to primary and post-primary schools throughout the country covering over 100 million kilometres annually.

I understand that the appeal in question was received on 19th July 2017.

The School Transport Appeals Board, which is independent of my Department, will liaise directly with the family regarding the date that this appeal will be considered.
