Given the importance of the issue and the scale of the problem, which we know is replicated throughout the State, in particular in the southern part, and the Minister mentioned counties Carlow and Kilkenny, while County Laois and south Kildare are affected by it as well, will she ensure that we have a service in place after June? I acknowledge we have a breathing space, but will the Minister of State take on board my suggestion of the need for bus shelters at bus stops? We need a bus service that is user-friendly. Nobody can stand for an hour waiting for a bus when it is spilling rain. Elderly people cannot do that. That route could be a model of an integrated service.
