We must also address community care services and the need for an on-demand and consistent hackney service in rural areas which meets requirements in areas such as insurance, about which I have concerns. A consistent structure is needed and the transport co-ordination units that are in the process of being established will develop such a structure. As the process for integrating the units is in train, it would not be appropriate for me to discuss them in detail. The proposal to have a single TCU for County Tipperary is the best option and, as a Deputy from Tipperary, I would be seriously concerned if Deputy McGrath were to oppose it.
