Mr. Graham Doyle:

I would be very concerned if, as the Deputy said, we ended up in a space where public transport was an add-on in terms of our overall policy. Public transport must be central in all that we do. Leaving aside all of the issues around climate change and so on, the level of commuting is expected to increase significantly over the next number of years. As there is not sufficient road space to cope with this, the only way we can handle it is through increased public transport provision. For that reason, public transport is central in all that we do.
