It is a good service every other way. I acknowledge that.

On the issue of connecting Local Link services to other services, the NTA cannot help it if, for example, a railway station is on one side of the town centre and bus drop-off points are on the other. The distance is not far, but are the connections with Local Link services under constant review? Helpfully, Local Link services smaller towns like Mountrath and goes by the station. Is the system regularly reviewed so that Local Link services tie in with the rail network at the likes of Portlaoise, which is a busy station?
