295 Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide assurances that in the post primary school transport scheme for the academic year of 2012/2013, the eligibility requirement that a child must attend the nearest school having regard to ethos and language, due regard will be had for the wishes of parents who would prefer that their children be educated in a non-denominational school even if this school is further from an ethos-based school; if this will be the case if the children are actually classified as being of the religion of the closer, ethos based school; if such children will have an automatic entitlement to school transport and are not concessionary students; if such students who hold medical cards will have the charges waived; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
