As the Chairman said, the statements are very comprehensive. At our previous meeting, disability groups outlined many major problems. The witnesses today have told us that they obviously have a lot done but have more to do and funding also seems to be an issue. I will address my first question on private coach hire to Mr. Traynor. He referred to shared use of infrastructure. Perhaps this can be answered later on. Mr. Traynor said that section 62 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 was included to facilitate use of bus stations, but that has never happened.
