Brendan Griffin (Kerry South, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for his response and urge that the report be published as quickly as possible. Having recently met the Kerry rural transport network representatives in my constituency and having spoken to people throughout the country, I am aware there is considerable concern about the future of the rural transport network. It would be helpful if as much information as possible was provided. There is a strong feeling in rural areas that the network must be protected as much as possible and extended in certain areas. Again, I urge that the next report be published as quickly as possible so as to provide people with some indication of what the future may hold.
