Ms Alannah Murray:

First, how, as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, is he allowing this to happen? Why, when an accessibility initiative was launched in respect of the DART, was he not present? What was more important than doing his job and his duty towards people with disabilities who use the service for which he is responsible? They have come to him many times and told him that it is a problem, so why was he not there when it counted? It is admirable to sit at this committee but unless one follows through, to be admirable will not cut it.

I wonder what the Minister will do to ensure that I, Mr. Moran or anyone like us will not have to sit before the committee again. I should not have to sit here and make my plea to be able to get on a bus. Revolutions have started on buses before and they will do so again unless the system is fixed. I want to know what will be done to prevent that revolution from happening.
