Deputy Munster will contribute next, but I will put this to Mr. Hernan in a different way. While I accept that his comments are genuine, the fact is that the loser will be the disabled person who cannot give Bus Éireann notice but who must travel and needs that space. Demand for it is likely. Could Mr. Hernan give us the statistics on this matter? It is a critical issue for the disabled people and their spokespersons who are present, notwithstanding the good news in many respects that Mr. Hernan has provided.
