Ms Anne Graham:

On the one-day coach tours, some of those may be licensed by us because we license some tour services. Some may be private hire and we would not be involved in those. There is obviously demand for that type of tour service. If there is demand, those providers are providing a service for tourism so we cannot comment beyond that in terms of a tour service.

On the 343 Limerick to Shannon route, we are working with all our operators. We have capacity issues across the board. If the 343 is one route where we have identified how we can deliver additional capacity with our operators, we will move to implement that with Bus Éireann as soon as those resources are identified.

On the Ennis town service, we have ambitions to deliver town services right across the country. Ennis is a little down the list and a couple of towns are ahead of it. Realistically, the earliest an Ennis town service could be delivered is 2025. That will be based on funding and giving priority, which we have already done in respect of a couple of other towns.
