Public Transport
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-21
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

I will absolutely convey Deputy Ó Ríordáin’s concerns and those of his constituents in the community that he represents to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and indeed to the Minister for Transport. I think the Deputy is quite right and justified and he has presented a very reasonable case as to why this problem has to be rectified. I have read some of the local media reportage of it. It is far from satisfactory. I do think there are many ways in which this can be resolved. The Deputy has raised the issue here. He has mentioned that the Minister has soft power, but by virtue of the fact that the Deputy has raised the issue here, he has elevated it. That will also give an added impetus to have it resolved.
