Mr. Brendan O'Brien:

We have quite a few coach spaces in the city centre.

There is certainly a problem in the city centre to the extent that we do not have an enormous amount of space for coaches. However, we have tried to make coach parking available, particularly on Nassau Street. In conjunction with the NTA, there has been a move to develop a specific coach parking area. Perhaps the representatives of the NTA wish to comment on that but Dublin City Council would certainly support such a development. Given the street space and number of streets in the city centre that are sufficiently wide for coach parking, the amount of space available for coaches and buses is significant, although it is not sufficient for the number of coaches in the city. It should be made clear, however, that we will never be able to cope with the number of coaches that could potentially be in the city.
