James Browne (FF), Wexford

I certainly hear the Deputy's cogent and well-thought-out points and I will bring them to the attention of the Minister, who, unfortunately, cannot be here. On the PSO routes managed by the NTA, the Department of Rural and Community Development does not subsidise all services and all routes, as has been stated, and careful consideration, therefore, must be given to any change that could substantially alter the contracts or put private operators at a disadvantage. I have certainly heard what the Deputy has to say and I will bring his concerns to the attention of the Minister.
