I thank Mr. Seamus Boland for his opening statements. He made a number of excellent proposals which deserve more consideration. I ask him to elaborate on his view that a new rural transport survey is needed? Will he also comment on his statement that the NTA and Departments of Health, Social Protection, and Education and Skills have an opportunity to examine the possibility of integrating their transport services to ensure full access to public transport is achievable? I also ask him to elaborate on his proposal to establish local and county based transport forums.
