I can see the reason, but I am saying it creates further complications, but Mr. Meade has answered it.

On the last occasion I raised this issue with some of the visually impaired people. I am glad to hear Mr. Hernan say that Bus Éireann will have audio announcements and others stated it also. In terms of implementing some of the changes needed to help people with disability, it is not all about funding; it is about the logistics of doing it. That is the impression I have. I am glad that is a target for 2018.
