Peter Power (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

I do not disagree with many of the points made by Deputy Broughan. However, there is an essential difference between small vehicles booked in a private capacity and buses which can accommodate nine people or more. The national transport authority — which, under this legislation, the Dublin Transport Authority will become — could not possibly deal with the former. I am not stating that this matter could not be addressed in some other way. However, it does not fall within the scope of the legislation.
