What if they cross into an urban area? In Galway would it cover Barna or extend to areas 45 km or 50 km away from where people are forced to commute because of third level education grant rules? According to the definition of the Department of Education and Skills people living 45 km away are considered to be adjacent, but according to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, they are in the sticks. That is a crazy disconnect.
