============================================================

Robert Troy (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I welcome the fact that the school transport scheme went to Cabinet for approval today. I worry that it is reported that improvements will not be implemented until the 2025-26 academic year. Please do not raise the white flag already. Please try to ensure that recommendations can be introduced in the coming academic year. Working families in particular are waiting on the broadening of the availability of the scheme. Will the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform ensure the Minister, Deputy Foley, is adequately supported in terms resources in order that we can have a broadened school transport scheme for the 2024-25 academic year?
