Mr. Hugh Creegan:

We have rolled out Connecting Ireland services and, while not all of them go past 9 p.m., a large number of them do. We must build on that. I accept that there is a lot more to be done.

Mr. Doocey mentioned some of the points about the Leap card. Our Leap card technology is 20 years old at this stage. It was rolled out in 2011, but its development started years ahead of that. We are in the process of replacing it with a new ticketing system that is much more capable of accepting debit cards, credit cards, mobile payments and all of that. We have signed a contract with a Spanish company, Indra, which specialises in doing this. It has been working on it in recent months and in the next couple of years we will see it rolling out. Eventually, we will get it rolled out across the country.
