Rural school transport after amalgamations
Kitt sought a guarantee that free transport would continue for rural pupils after school amalgamations or the opening of central schools. Creed said no change to existing arrangements was proposed, but did not explicitly describe this as a guarantee.
asked the Minister for Education if free transport will be available for children attending primary schools in rural areas where an amalgamation has taken place or where a new central school has been built.

Can the Minister of State give me a guarantee that there will be no change as regards the free transport scheme in rural areas where amalgamation takes place or where a new central school is built? Can he give me the guarantee given parents when these measures were taken?
