‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - School Transport Service. Transport from Tullamore to Athlone college
Summary
The Minister said third-level students travelling to Athlone are outside the free school-transport scheme.
asked the Minister for Education if he will provide school transport for the pupils travelling from Tullamore to the Regional Technical College in Athlone.
Comment on this
The school transport scheme is confined to pupils attending primary and post-primary courses and students whose homes are within three miles of a suitable school are not eligible for transport. In the case of students travelling from Tullamore to Athlone it is presumably courses of a third level nature that they attend and they are, accordingly, outside the ambit of the free transport scheme.
