I appreciate that but that has not happened. It was mentioned that only 8% of people in Galway use the bus service. People in Galway do not use the buses because the service is not frequent enough. There have been many proposals for a light rail system. I read an article in one of today's newspapers in which Mr. Conor Faughnan calls for a light rail system. A group of us in Galway have continually called for such a service as the most sustainable way forward in terms of the current road infrastructure. I would welcome further engagement with Mr. Doyle on the issue of sustainable transport but I will settle at this point for a response to the other questions I posed.
