I have a very quick note to add. I am from a little town in Waterford called Tramore. I was working with a TD and a local councillor during the summer because public transport stops on the bus system were being removed. There was talk of this happening. This is the opposite of what we should be doing. We need to encourage these options because they are greener. Removing stops will discourage people from using public transport. I do not know whether this was brought to the attention of the committee but it is something that needs to be worked on.
