Mr. Tim Gaston:

It is unlikely to be 2023 but I hope it will be in 2024. We have made a commitment to the Department of Transport in this regard. Its sustainable mobility plan commits to delivery before 2025. It is one of five services we are working on. In fact, we are working on more than five. There is a minimum of five. Ennis is one of them, along with Carlow, Portlaoise, Mullingar and Letterkenny. The process of specification has to be gone through. The routes and frequency need to be right. This has nearly been achieved. We will get out to the market during 2023 and proceed from there as quickly as we can get an operator. We will probably provide the operator with the vehicles. One of the challenges we are facing is that we want the service to be an electric-vehicle service. We do not want to be using diesel vehicles. Providing somewhere to charge the vehicles could become a challenge. We are talking to the local authority about providing charging infrastructure so there will be somewhere that the vehicles can be charged overnight.
