I am happy to seriously consider that and discuss it with the National Transport Authority, NTA. Those who have sensory or visual difficulties have problems with public transport and those should be remedied. We are trying to approach this on a multi-faceted level. The commitment is there and it would be wrong if the Deputy did not acknowledge that and the progress the Government is making. It has made several commitments it intends to keep and some of which it is already keeping, as well as the commitment I referred to regarding timing. The NTA is continuing to roll out its accessible bus stop programme. It has launched a campaign in which I was recently involved to stop people putting buggies in the wheelchair zone. I have referred to the pilot project on the DART. It has also increased grants for taxis. We have introduced a series of measures backed up by investment and will continue to build on that.
