I am sorry that I will be in and out of the room. I am caught for time. The timetables are a disaster, to be honest about this. I would love to be getting on a train every morning to come up here and I cannot. There are hundreds like me. We need to look at that and I urge the NTA to look at that.

The next issue is a bit of a bugbear of mine. It is called transport hubs. I was advocating for these over a decade ago. We want to put a transport hub in Nenagh. There is a massive train station and we want to put all the buses there. Unfortunately, the buses are still stopping in the middle of the town and a one-way system was brought in. It is galactically insane that is happening a few hundred yards away from a train station. I know investment has been put into hubs in other places, which I really admire. Will investment be put into transport hubs? The image I have for my home town is a railway station with an RTPI sign at the front with all the buses, trains, taxi services, active travel, etc., coming out of it. Is that going to happen?
