Ms Anne Graham:

I thank the Deputy for her comments on the Carlow service. We are delighted with the response of the customers to the Carlow service. It does get good access. We always review service after a number of months to see how it is operating and whether we are in a position to put in any additional services. There is a problem getting buses in and out of the railway station and finding a suitable and safe location for a bus. At all stages, we try to interchange with the railway station. It is very important for the town service. I do not think it was physically possible but we always continue our conversations with Iarnód Éireann to see how we can solve that problem and we will try to get to having much better interchange at the railway station. We will look at other locations but when you are doing that and putting in additional stops or lengthening a service, you have to make sure it does not undermine the benefits everybody gets. It is a great start for Carlow.
