I will just come back on the Luas issue. There is an unfortunate situation for anybody who is wheelchair-bound or has very young children. Quite frankly, for those who are in wheelchairs, using the Luas to get to work for a 9 to 5 job is out of the question. They just will not be able to make it. Is there any way that a small section of the Luas could be restricted for people in wheelchairs or young mothers? That might require doing something with the seating. I am not sure. It is heartbreaking to watch somebody in a wheelchair as Luas after Luas goes by and that person is unable to get on board. I am not too sure what the answer is but I should put it out there anyway.
