Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

This issue was discussed at a meeting of my own parliamentary party a few weeks ago at which we adopted a policy of extending the short hop zone to anywhere within 50 km or so of Dublin. It is quite anomalous at the moment. Kilcoole in County Wicklow is in the short hop zone but Drogheda and areas in mid-Kildare that are the same distance away from Dublin are not. We think that should be regularised but that work really has to be done through the National Transport Authority and the Minister.
