Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I would make the point that across the country, this investment in rural public transport is taking off like a rocket. Young people in particular are availing of those services. I will look at that because it is a success. It started in Kerry with the first one around the Dingle Peninsula. There was a twentyfold increase in passenger numbers. Irish people are dying to get to use public transport. What I hope is that when we start to see new services filling up, that gives us the case to go further. It requires money and political commitment but the Deputy will see no lack of that from this Government.
