Ms Margaret Malone:

On the connectivity issue, we have recently issued a request through the rural transport programme for applications for evening and night-time services, particularly for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. This is partly aimed at promoting social inclusion, but it is also intended to connect with existing services in the area, including commuter services. It is intended that people will be able to stay out or travel into a town in the evening and get home at a certain time.

That connectivity issue is very much on our radar.
