Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour)

If the Deputy knows a way of getting another 5,000 people employed in that area, I am sure the operators of the Luas will consider providing more frequent Luas services to the area. Obviously, that would be a huge development. The operators are working in conjunction with the National Transport Authority to ensure the level of service that is provided meets the demand for that service. I believe they are doing that successfully. The changes that are being made at the moment will be customised in accordance with passenger numbers and where it looks like passengers are travelling. I think the frequency level will meet the demand. As part of an integrated approach, the areas mentioned by the Deputy will be served by the Luas working with Dublin Bus.
