Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I thank the Deputy. I will certainly bring back the issue of Premier Coaches in west Wicklow to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan.
The Minister has instructed the NTA to meet with Go-Ahead Ireland weekly to get an update on what exactly is happening. They are managing it now at a micro level, as opposed to a macro level, which is unfortunate. The Deputy is right. Go-Ahead Ireland is absorbing the fines as opposed to seeking a solution about delivery times. I will bring this issue back to the Minister but, as I have said, he has instructed the NTA to meet with Go-Ahead Ireland weekly to ensure the fines are delivered. However, I will bring it back to him that there are three more routes on the cards.
