School Transport
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-30
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I underline the importance of this service. I am under no illusions about it and appreciate that the Deputy is not either. A significant service is being provided. More than 121,400 students avail of it. We intend to maximise use of the service. In recent years, more than 8,000 more students have availed of the service. Our objective is to ensure the maximum number of students are facilitated to avail of the school transport system. We can see benefits all round for families, the environment and so much more. The review engages all stakeholders, the general public, school communities, providers of the service and others. All aspects and the point the Deputy raised are being looked at.
