Mr. Shaun Cunniffe:

I will make one final comment, a Chathaoirligh, on this idea of a transportation system for rural Ireland versus a train system. Small buses picking up people and moving around rural Ireland are what we need. We know that heavy rail and track through small towns and villages would be overkill, but the demographics, the people, are not there to use it. The Department of Transport should therefore be focusing on bus services to look after rural Ireland and invest in that.
