Public Transport
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-28
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I have noted the Deputy’s comments and I will raise those points with the Minister and the Department. Careful consideration is being given to any change that could substantially alter the contracts and put private operators at a disadvantage. However, the Deputy has raised some pertinent points regarding the islands. There is also the fact of the logistical issues for people leaving the islands in that they often need to keep two cars and they also have to take public transport, which is a valid argument. Again, I have noted the Deputy’s comments and I will raise the points with the Minister and her Department.
