Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development
Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
10:30 am
Ms Anne Graham:
On the question of bus shelters, we do not underestimate the job there is in trying to put together and meet the deficit there right across the State. We are in a position now - we have a provider - to centrally roll out a programme, subject to funding being available, across the State. There are also local difficulties when one tries to put a shelter in place, particularly in towns, because they are not always acceptable in certain locations. We will do everything we can, however, by working with local authorities to improve the bus shelters and wheelchair accessibility at those stops.
