In relation to a school bus service for children who are living in temporary hotel accommodation in County Meath, officials in the School Transport unit of my department are currently liaising with Bus Éireann who operates the School Transport scheme on behalf of my department.

Bus Éireann has advised that they are looking at a number of options in order to accommodate the pupils in question. Once this has been arranged, Bus Éireann will liaise directly with the accommodation centre.

The Deputy will appreciate that every effort is being made to ensure those in need of school transport are accommodated as quickly as possible.
