The School Transport Scheme is a significant operation managed by Bus Éireann on behalf of the Department of Education and Youth.

Bus Éireann is responsible for the planning and timetabling of school transport routes. Bus Éireann endeavours, within available resources, to ensure that each eligible child has a reasonable level of school transport service in the context of the Scheme nationally. Routes may be altered or extended depending on the number and location of eligible children who will be availing of school transport for the following school year.

Bus Éireann have advised that as this is for the 26/27 School Year they are unable to answer the question, however they are in a position to answer this question for the 25/26 School Year if required.
