That was another failing of mine, but there are many. He may not thank me for this interlude.

Does the DAA deal much with the likes of Bus Éireann? I will raise a very local issue, namely, the 100X bus route from Dundalk. I have been over and back with Bus Éireann, which has stated that it cannot maintain the timetable as it exists at this point and that it will come up with a timetable that it can deliver upon. This is meant to happen in the very near future. That is something we will chase up. One of the issues a constituent who contacted me raised is the fact that the 100X bus stop does not cut the mustard when the weather is bad. There are particular issues with regard to queuing, and these relate to Bus Éireann. My question relates to the interactions the DAA has with the likes of Bus Éireann and what it would be necessary to put in place some sort of bus stop structure that would be more fit for purpose.
