PQ 95
95. Deputy Máire Devine asked the Minister for Education and Youth whether there is currently a blanket pause on the processing of school transport applications; the reasons for any such pause, or systemic delays; and the steps she is taking to ensure that children with special educational needs and disabilities who have secured a suitable school place a significant distance from their home receive the home-to-school transport support to which they are entitled without undue delay, so as to avoid causing further distress to families who have already faced considerable challenges in obtaining an appropriate educational placement.
