Mike Kennelly (FG), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State. That is wonderful news. As he said, Local Link has been a success story. In Ballyferriter, west Kerry, it has brought communities back together. The service the people are receiving there is unbelievable and they are grateful for it. However, I am highlighting areas that are not receiving an adequate service. I am delighted that the Minister of State will take on board my points, especially those on the Abbeydorney area. Is there a public awareness campaign for people living on isolated roads that are not being serviced? Has the NTA a way of identifying areas that have applied for funding but that unfortunately have not been successful? Local Link has been a success story but everyone is not included. I want the affected areas to be invested in and people to have an adequate service. I thank the Minister of State.
