Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I have offered an example of a service which was withdrawn. I am not sure of the licence conditions in that instance but I understand the licence remained outstanding for the service long after it had ceased. Commuters would be gravely concerned if an operator ceased to provide a service arbitrarily because it was taken over by a foreign operator or wanted to wait upon more favourable political or economic conditions. The Minister might like to reflect on these issues further.
