There is a public transport crisis in County Meath. It can often take up to two hours to travel the 30 miles from Navan to Dublin, which means a four-hour commute every day for families. This is on the occasions the bus actually arrives because there are many occasions it will not arrive. When it does arrive, it is full, leaving dozens of people wating at bus stops unable to get to work. This morning the majority of workers left County Meath to work elsewhere. This happens in no other county. Navan is the largest town in the State which is not served by a rail line. We have a serious situation where families are being stuffed in commuting in County Meath. Before the Minister steps into any further photo opportunity on the issue of climate change, will she ensure bus services to my county actually work?
