That is a lot considering it is only a half-hour journey. That is one question.

My other question is to Bus Éireann as well. It relates to a bus to Athlone. This has come up a few times. I use public transport all the time. Often, in my previous role, I had meetings in, say, Athlone, but we cannot get a train to Athlone and there is no direct bus. If I go on the Expressway booking platform online, it just says there are no fares available. It does not state that people have to go to Longford and get a connection there. Athlone – and I am sure this has come up as well – is in the centre of the country. There should be a direct route from Sligo along the route to Athlone, or at least somewhere showing we can book that journey, rather than stating that there are no routes available.
