Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am familiar with this issue from my time in the Department of Transport. There is agreement between all the parties now. There were some elements of integrated ticketing emerging and my colleague, the Minister for Transport, is pushing to achieve this.

I agree, for ease of access for both tourists and Irish people, particularly in the capital, it would transform things to have a simple card to access all elements of public transport. Competitors in this market, as they previously saw themselves, would accept in a declining market that it is in all their interests to have easy access to public transport for all those who wish to use it.
