Brilliant. I thank Mr. Creegan.

In relation to accessibility, a few weeks ago I met a constituent who is blind and is a regular bus user but who has had buses drive pass him at bus stops and has had to rely on the kindness of strangers at bus stops to make him aware of when buses arrive. Is any work being done, such as app technology, that can aid visually-impaired people in using the bus services, be it Dublin Bus or others?

In terms of wheelchair accessibility, in particular, on the bus fleet, there is limited capacity. Even the most modern buses may only have capacity for one wheelchair. If there are buggies or prams, that can cause difficulty. Is there any further work being done to improve accessibility to the buses and in terms of the new fleet coming on stream?
