I agree with the Minster. We want the legislation brought in as soon as possible so we will support him on that.

On the increased use of public transport, it is welcome to see the real leap back post Covid. I have no doubt that usage is a result of the continued investments in public transport. Connecting Ireland, in particular, has been quite successful. A total of 65 new or improved routes were introduced last year, which is really significant for connectivity in rural Ireland.

I get great feedback on those routes. Is this reviewed each year and are more routes planned to come on stream next year and the year after?
