Ms Anne Graham:

I will continue with Deputy Shortall's questions and then maybe get back to Deputy Munster's questions. There was a suggestion that there were more winners than losers with regard to traffic congestion. We are discussing the bus corridors here, which is a matter of trying to provide more space for public transport and improving current services. While existing services are provided primarily by Bus Éireann along that corridor, their operating times are challenged as the road gets more congested. This is a plan for ensuring that we have better reliability of journey times on those corridors and to avoid increasing congestion and journey times because they will get longer if we do not put in place this bus priority.
