Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for her response. I join the Minister of State in complimenting all those involved in the Local Link service. It is a fantastic service and there is serious potential to expand that even further, as the Minister of State outlined, and I look forward to that. I am heartened by the Minister of State's comments on her input into having a look at the charge being applied in CHO 1 only. It is unfair to the service users involved, and I would welcome it if on their behalf the Minister of State did all in her power to ensure citizens living in CHO 1 are treated no differently than citizens elsewhere and that this unfair charge is removed as soon as possible.
