Mr. G. Walsh
The post-primary school transport scheme makes provision for the establishment of school transport services, under certain conditions, to facilitate the attendance of eligible pupils at the post-primary centre of the catchment area in which they reside. This centre is usually, but not necessarily, the nearest to a pupil's home. My Department has provided school transport facilities to Schull post-primary centre in accordance with the terms of the post-primary school transport scheme. I do not propose to authorise any school transport service outside the terms of the scheme.
