I did not miss any of the earlier debate; I do not do that. Does the Minister agree with the recommendation of the National Council for the Blind that a complete review and revamp of the transport service in Ireland should be undertaken in order to increase public transport availability for everyone, including those with impaired vision? The programme for Government pledged to: "invest to make public transport services more accessible for people with disabilities. Examples of such investment include increased wheelchair access to bus and train stations, bus fleet enhancement and audio announcements on train and bus services, to aid the visually impaired." I ask the Minister to comment on that commitment.
