School Transport
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-08
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I thank the Minister. Will she outline if all the planned pilot schemes got under way? I understand there are 14 of them, but did all the pilot schemes that were planned get under way? The transport scheme is currently open for applications and parents will be making applications for students in the weeks to come. Often, families are waiting right up to the last minute in September to find out if they will have a service. Time is getting very tight now. Will there be enough time over the summer to have an extensive scheme introduced for September or will there be a need to prioritise certain aspects? If there is going to be prioritisation, what changes is the Minister aiming to prioritise for next September and September of the following year? Will she give an overview in this regard, please?
