I believe 50% of the Dublin Bus fleet has space for a wheelchair and a buggy. There is room for both. There is a retrofit programme in place, but obviously it is still a problem. Improvements have been made and there is space for a buggy and a wheelchair, but it has come to my attention that there are occasions on which people cannot get on board. I agree that it is something we have to address, as it has not yet been sorted. In 2018 funding was provided for 205 PSO buses - 141 for Dublin Bus and 64 for Go-Ahead - for use in the Dublin region. They will all have extra spaces. I am not trying to say everything has been sorted because it has not. What I am saying is the issue is being addressed and that real progress is being made, but the Deputy is right that problems remain.
