Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Go-Ahead Ireland had problems in February and March this year with a lot of cancelled services. There is no doubt about that. Overall, we think it is providing a good service. It scored very highly in customer satisfaction feedback last year.

On the all-Ireland rail review, we build bus connections to rail into the Connecting Ireland work we do. When we are designing the service under Connecting Ireland, we also make sure that if there is a rail station to be served, we can connect to that.

On the ten-year taxi change rule, I think that was because a commitment was made in the programme for Government. We replicated whatever was in that. That is my recollection of that.
