Rural Transport Services
3:00 am
Tom Hayes (Tipperary South, Fine Gael)
I welcome the fact that the Minister is open to suggestions in this regard. I ask the Minister to include in such a review the following issue. With more emphasis on preventing drunk driving in the past few years, people in remote rural areas, especially younger people, have no way to go home at night from discos, etc. I have travelled through several towns in the past few months late at night and could see such people waiting in a queue in the cold, with some walking home. It is unfair and the issue should be examined. Will the Minister consider this as it is a matter of controversy and concern?
