I thank the Minister.

I hope this opportunity will be recognised, particularly with the electrification of lines, with battery power and new technology and developments. I also wish to understand the level of ambition there is around developing more bus links in urban areas in particular. I know there are issues in Dublin with BusConnects and so forth. I am sure the Minister hears about bus delays in his own constituency, like everyone else. We hope these are teething problems but they seem to be taking a long time. For the people waiting at the bus stops they are very much a toothache rather than a teething problem. I hope that as this develops, the level of investment required will be enhanced because that seems to be one of the issues: the level of investment does not seem to be available.
