527 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Education and Science when she will approve revised school transport arrangements for a school (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38650/06]

The case referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied has been considered by the School Transport Appeals Board who found that the present level of service to the school in question is reasonable and that the benefits of an exclusive service would not justify the costs involved. In the circumstances, it is not open to me to re-examine the case.
