I thank Mr. Creegan. I have another question in relation to town services. Town bus services are being introduced in Carlow town, which has a population of 27,000, Portlaoise with a population of 23,000, Letterkenny and Athlone with a population of 22,000 each, and Mullingar, also with a population of 22,000. Has the NTA got something against Tralee, which has a population of 26,000? I think Mr. Creegan anticipated that coming. The Tralee People's Bus Service has been ploughing away for years and years and serving the town very well. I would encourage that it would be part of any renewed bus services in the town covering the three or four different routes that will have to be installed. What is happening with a bus service for Tralee?
