It should not need greater collaboration. To my mind, there should be quite clear distinctive demarcations on CIÉ's responsibilities and the NTA's responsibilities and how they work together. If this is not the case it needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
A point I forgot to make in my opening contribution relates to property owned by CIÉ. Some of the properties, quite frankly, are an embarrassment. Busáras is an embarrassment to the country for tourists coming in and commuters who use it on a daily basis. It is a dump. We would not see it in some Third World countries. I ask Ms Ross to prioritise investment in upgrading our assets. Do we have landbanks that could be utilised in the provision of housing at this time of national crisis?
