I saw a couple of them on the way, including Cabinteely today. I remember being a councillor at the opening of the old Harcourt Street line through to Leopardstown. It was said this would be the end of the world but it is now there. Fences are gone from places that had them and people are using the route, which is brilliant to see. It is so cheap, delivers such a good service, and people can get to the Luas, DART, BusConnects and cycling.

On new bus routes, the 175 is the kind of route we look at and wonder why it was never there before. Admittedly, I looked at it a couple of days ago and two buses in a row were cancelled. I accept that is possibly related to Covid. Who looks at new routes and who plans them? Do Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead representatives come to the NTA to say they think a particular route will work? Does the NTA plan these routes? Who does that work?
