Ms Anne Graham:

In general terms, what we are presenting here today is a major change from what initially went out in terms of public consultation, so what we have presented and what we are saying is that we have listened to the submissions and we have taken them on board and made many amendments to the network that we are presenting today. This is another consultation. It is another opportunity for people to comment on the services. What we are trying to achieve is the right network of services. We hope that we have the frequency level at the right level, based on what we want to deliver in the next number of years, but the frequency level is a relatively easy thing to change. It requires funding of course, but that is something that can be changed. We want to make sure that we are delivering the right network for the city of Dublin, as it is, for the next ten years at least. They are the kind of tweaks that we need to ensure we have right, that is, that we have the buses travelling on the right roads and in the right locations. Frequency can be moved up if needed, based on the submissions we get back, based on operating the services in the new network and based on getting feedback from customers, which is very important for us because we definitely would want to respond to that. We want to be able to respond to the consultations and submissions that we get as a result of this public consultation as well. We hope that we have most of it right, but the committee has already indicated there are a few areas that we need to look at and we have indicated that we will look at those again.

We are listening, we want submissions from the public on this new network and we hope we have met many of the concerns that were raised the last time, but we would like to make sure that people feel they can make more submissions to us and then we can finalise the network. Mr. Creegan might respond to the specifics.
