Yes, Dublin Coach. I am sorry. I apologise. It is late at night. No disrespect is intended to either party.

It has probably turned out to be a better route. Like everything else, it has teething problems but it is working well at the moment and there is just the issue of the signs.

On a technical point, I got a query from a taxi driver in Limerick regarding the dates for the extension due to age. I should have brought this up earlier. If a taxi was purchased in 2010, it would be due to finish in 2020 but it gets five years up to 2025; for a taxi purchased in 2015, the date is 2025 and it gets no extension of time; and a taxi purchased in 2014 gets a three-year extension after ten years, which takes it up to 2027. Why is there that cut-off?
