I can make inquiries about the specific route. We are committed to spreading the benefits of the LocalLink service to as many communities as possible. I piloted a community car initiative in Kerry, which has been hugely successful because we have carried almost 3,000 passengers since last February. It is volunteer led and is working very well.
We are keen to address the deficit of transport services in some rural communities. This should have been done over the past decades but it has not been done. Nevertheless, we are determined to do it now and that is why we have been pumping more money into LocalLink. We do not decide the route plans of the various LocalLink companies but I would be happy to investigate the Deputy's case and get back to him.
