Ms Anne Graham:

The issue of no services for people over 18 years of age was raised where they have had a service. We try to deal with that with the LocalLink managers on a case-by-case basis. If there is an individual who requires a service, he or she should contact the LocalLink manager and see if we are in a position to provide a service.

On west Cork having a bus service to link with the rail service, that is something that we can look at, and perhaps Bus Éireann might respond on that issue.

On Deputy Penrose's question, unfortunately the NTA has no role in school transport. We are specifically precluded statutorily from having any role in relation to school transport. On the expansion of the local night time services, we got proposals from Longford and Westmeath and we are assessing those services. Were they in the first batch?
