I ask that the matter remain under review. Nothing can ever remain static, including in political life.

I have questions for Ms Graham. We are talking about Dublin Bus services today. A large number of services originate in Dublin and travel to all parts of Ireland each day. Are one-day coach tours sustainable? I refer to the buses that line up along the quays of Dublin city centre, leave Dublin but no longer even stop in the west of Ireland. They only have what are called "photo stops" at iconic sites where the drivers stop for a while on the hard shoulder, which is not safe, to allow passengers to take a photo. The passengers on the tours have their breakfast and dinner in Dublin and do not spend a bob anywhere along the way. Surely that is not sustainable?

I will ask two final questions as the Leas-Cathaoirleach said that if I concentrated on speaking about Dublin, he might allow me an extra 30 seconds.
