Louis O'Hara (Galway East, Sinn Fein)

I thank the witnesses for their time today. I want to pick up on rural transport again. It is certainly very positive to see new Local Link services starting up around the place, but when I look at my own constituency, we have serious issues with frequency and capacity of bus services from towns which are essentially commuter towns to Galway city and there are very limited links between those towns. While progress is being made, people feel that progress is quite slow. Connecting Ireland was mentioned earlier. Will Mr. Creegan outline the progress that has been made on that and the main challenges faced in rolling that out?
