Suppose someone who is trying to attend is working in Sandyford and living in Lucan, and has to collect one child and drop off another, cook dinner and all the rest. Perhaps the NTA would consider holding the consultations later for the sake of the public. That leads to another point that has reached my office, although Deputies from Dublin and the greater Dublin area will have much better local knowledge. It concerns the Dodsboro area in the west of the city, where the 25 and 25X routes ran. Those routes will be gone. Elderly and disabled members of the community there have expressed concern at the distance they will have to travel to get to the bus and the fact that they will have to go to Blanchardstown rather than going directly into town. I wish to pass on that concern. Dublin Deputies will no doubt be more familiar with the details of that.

My next query is more operational, so if the witnesses do not have a view they can tell me. Does the National Transport Authority liaise with local authorities on traffic light sequencing?
