Iarnród Éireann is providing a public service. The reason we need these apps is because the stations are unmanned. That is something for which a more radical approach could perhaps be taken. I cannot leave without saying this. When I mentioned the negative experiences my son and his carer have had, I forgot to say that even though there is a certain cohort of people who seem to be a centre of gravity there, I have to say, they are very much the exception. All of the staff, whether it is taxi drivers, bus drivers or people on the rail network, are extremely friendly. I just want to make sure I emphasise that. However, there is a minority of people who are absolutely appalling.
