Is the Minister aware that very young children of four, five and six years of age are travelling on these trains on Sunday night and some of these young children are not able to cope. In the case of a particular family in the Athlone area a mother has asked the Midland Health Board if they will allow her to bring her children by car on Monday morning rather than issue her with a free ticket and have them travel by train on Sunday night. I will give the Minister the details.

If the Deputy gives me the details I shall certainly have the matter looked at. I cannot give her any assurance at this stage but I will have the matter examined.

Would the Minister say if he thinks that is a correct procedure when parents are willing to bring the children by car?

The Deputy is now talking about a completely different matter but if the Deputy gives me the particulars I shall have the matter examined. I understand there are cases where parents are concerned about putting their children on buses or trains but what we have been talking about are the facilities available. According to all the experts better facilities are available at centralised schools.
