asked the Minister for Education if he is aware that the school bus conveying children from Ballymun to Larkhill national school, Dublin operates in the morning only; and that children returning home from school are not catered for; if he will give the reason for this; and if he will rectify the situation.

The service referred to by the Deputy is not a school transport service operated by arrangement with my Department and I have no function in relation to it. I have, however, arranged to have the matter brought to the attention of CIE.
