It has all been said about the necessity of the services. It is something that was very clear recently during the pandemic. We are talking about the future of public transport. I expect there is a fear that people have made a shift towards private cars. From a public transport perspective, including private bus service operators, of which there are many in my Louth constituency, will Mr. O'Leary outline what can be done to reassure the public of the safety of public transport while also dealing with capacity issues as a result of reduced services?
