537 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is being denied free school transport in view of the fact that other children, living the same distance from the school, are receiving it and in view of the agreement that is in place.

My Department has requested Bus Éireann to provide a report on the situation regarding School Transport for the pupil referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied. When this information is received my Department will contact the family concerned.
