Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have been in Turas Nua and Seetec officers in various parts of the country. At a time when Government offices and post offices are closing down throughout the country Seetec and Turas Nua are opening offices all over the place, often in very rural locations. This should be noted and regarded as a positive. I accept there is an issue with transport costs, and it is something the Department is working on, recognising that where there is no public transport in place travelling to the office can be a very high cost to bear. This is something we have under examination.
