I hear what Mr. Ryan is saying but I genuinely do not accept it. There must be a better way to support the cost of commuting for commuters. We all know that very many commuters bypass the stations in Newbridge and Kildare to go to Sallins where there is a much cheaper fare. The car parks there are beyond capacity so we need this to be put in place.

My next question goes back to integrated public transport. Many people live quite a distance from the stations in Newbridge and Kildare. I am very fortunate to live beside the train station so I find it quite easy to get there but there are many people living in the town who live 3 km away from the train station. There was an expectation that a town bus would be rolled out in both Kildare and Newbridge to enable people to get the train stations so they would not need to have a second car. What progress has been made on this?
