Absolutely. I compliment them on their public transport safety action days that they have been pioneering recently as well.

Moving to the area of roads, I am pleased to see the increase in expenditure on roads. Public transport needs good roads to operate on, which is often lost in this debate about the false dichotomy between public transport and roads. With regard to roads specifically in Dublin, in questions the Minister replied to me on in the past, he stated that road funding is the responsibility of local authorities in the Dublin region. One of the issues we repeatedly hear from constituents in Dublin is that the quality of road in some areas requires additional maintenance and additional funding. Is the Department aware of that? Is the Minister engaging with local authorities on that to make sure they step up to the plate in terms of the maintenance of good quality roads in Dublin?
