As Minister for Transport, I am fully committed to strengthening our public transport offerings and progressively making them accessible for all, especially for disabled people/persons with disabilities, reduced mobility and older people.

However, I must emphasise to the Deputy that specialised non-public (closed) door-to-door services do not fall under my aegis. The type of dedicated, individual transport service referred to by the Deputy, falls outside of the public transport remit of my Department, and its agencies. In this instance, the D/Education might be best placed to answer the Deputy's question.
