Mr. Tim Gaston:

To respond to Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív's question, we have debated this issue before and take his point about the definition of a commuter service. Something on which we are engaging more is trying to differentiate between regular commuter services and other feeder and town services. As more funding becomes available, we are in regular discussions with Dublin Bus on where we can start to expand the reach of the day. We are starting earlier. The Deputy suggested a half-hour frequency in the morning peak. The next question is to what time will it continue in the evening. We agree that such a definition of a commuter service would be useful. Perhaps then we might designate certain services in that category. That might be something we could do in all major urban areas and, at the same time, designate other services in categories also.
