I ask the question because a few weeks ago one of our national newspapers tried to scaremonger people that the free travel scheme would be taken away. Free travel is so important for Ireland, especially rural Ireland, and the last thing we want to do is scaremonger people that there is a possibility free travel will be taken away from them. All I ask the Minister is that he give a commitment, as the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, has, that free travel will continue as far as the Government is concerned.
