Jerry Buttimer (Cork South-Central, Fine Gael)

I am giving the Deputy a personal view as opposed to a departmental one. We need to be radical in how we look at the delivery of off-peak services. I have the same issue in my constituency with, for example, workers and passengers at Cork Airport. The points the Deputy made are relevant. I certainly would love to see a more innovative, radical approach taken to off-peak services. We can have more of them. I have raised the matter with the NTA in the case of Cork, rather than the Deputy's constituency, but this may be something on which we can work and advocate together with the NTA. The Deputy makes a good point because we need to encourage people to use public transport rather than putting barriers in people's way. For example, the Deputy could have driven, although I know she said she took the train this morning, because she knows she will not make the train back home tonight. It is a fair point.
