They will not be a problem. I will deal with them as they were asked. Deputy Ellis raised a number of points. The public transport accessibility committee, PTAC, will only deal with issues of transport accessibility. I take on board the Deputy's comments about buses. Indeed, I take everyone's comments on board. I concur as regards Dublin Bus, in that the achievements it has made in recent years have been phenomenal. It should be congratulated.

Deputy Ellis raised the issue of taxis. I am conscious of it and it is being addressed. No Minister has taken as much of an interest in taxis as I have. The Senators present will verify that we have been around the houses as regards the Bill on this matter.
