It could be done at zero cost to the Government. I will move on to the next question.
Will Ms Graham explain to me why there are no services after 6 p.m. on the radial routes out of towns with third level services? Students are thought to be able to get home every evening if they live within 45 km of the institution they attend because that is the way grants are structured. I am not talking about going up every village or townland, I am talking about two of the major radial routes out of these cities to place such as Loughrea from Galway or from a place which is the equivalent distance from Carlow. The routes should be along the main national secondaries and maybe the odd regional routes if there is no secondary route.
