Robert Troy: Earlier this year, the Minister, Deputy Foley, published the review of the school transport scheme and the proposed changes. It was very welcome. The report was long overdue.

Micheál Martin: I do believe there is a very serious issue here in relation to children’s access to therapy. There are recruitment issues within the HSE but in my view we must look at other mechanisms and initiatives to deal with this.
