Mr. Stephen Kent:

We will definitely participate in that process within the NTA. We are still consulting every day and our network planning team are engaging in respect of that. On the infrastructure and the Chairman's point about routes around the urban area of Limerick from 12 km to 84 km, this is published in the consultation as it is planned to be. In the context of anything that is going to happen on that, I am aware that he is very supportive - as am I - of trying to see if we can move in that direction because I believe it is the right way to go. If one wants to connect across city and across the University of Limerick, with the current arteries and when the return of business gives rise to congestion, in order to be able to maintain headways and remain on time, there will be a need for prioritisation in respect of places like that. At the moment, the NTA will see all of the data relating to punctuality and to the service and reliability. The NTA will use all of that data in the broader plan that will be rolled out for Limerick. As I said earlier, we have been doing this for many years in Limerick and we want to continue doing it in order to continue offering better services to the people.
