Okay, so the NTA will review that.

I forgot to ask something earlier about bus shelters. The local authority designates the area for a bus shelter. The councillors and the area engineers, through the local authority, designate where a bus stop goes.

The local authority does the accommodation works, but then there is a rigmarole. In the case of Mountmellick, the local authority put up the bus shelter in the square. This is going back a few years ago now. Is it possible that we could devolve the provision of bus shelters to the local authorities? The fact that I have to write to Ms Graham about a bus shelter in Castletown is bananas. That needs to be devolved down to local authority level. Earmark it and provision it. Just give them the cash.
