============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

The Deputy makes a valid point. I have met with local representatives for the area and had a series of discussions with my own officials to try to address the concerns. I have told them we need to look again at the very specific issue of Portiuncula Hospital and ensure that, as we change the overall route alignment, we maintain critical connectivity to those types of facilities. The NTA is charged with working with the local operators, Bus Éireann and others to ensure we address some of the concerns that have been raised. I will have to ask the Department for an update on that as it was not specifically asked for in the question as written. It is something we are very aware of and have been working on.
