One of the problems with the service being moved from Dublin mid-west to Dublin south-west is the lack of public transport and infrastructure.

There are many areas that would not have a direct bus route up to Tallaght in the Clondalkin and Lucan area, which makes matters quite difficult. It is also quite difficult for young people who are suffering from mental health trauma, or whatever they are experiencing at the time, to get on a bus or some other form of public transport and make their way somewhere when they may have something that is really local to them. When consideration is being given to the location of the satellite service, could this to be taken on board? This would be really appreciated by the people in Clondalkin because they would have easier access to the service there than to that in Tallaght. In a further question on the face-to-face operation that is due to start on 20 July, how does Jigsaw see this happening and will it have an impact on waiting lists and waiting times?
