I will be very brief. It is about an issue pertaining to my constituency in Clare. It is about a bus stop in Manus, which is a rural destination outside the village of Clarecastle. I have written to Ms Graham about it. I had been in touch with Stephen Kent, the CEO of Bus Éireann. This particular stop had been in place for at least 50 years to the best of my knowledge. I have received volumes of emails, calls and text messages from people who are concerned. They want the bus stop back. I would like the NTA to do everything in its power to ensure this happens as soon as possible. It is discommoding young and old people. One person who has epilepsy relies on the connection for his daily life. It is important that it is reinstated as soon as possible.
