Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy makes a good point. We are looking at a new strategy, connecting Ireland, which looks at developing rural bus transport systems. Critically, we want to achieve an efficiency where we can connect the transport needs to health facilities into that system and look at various solutions and options. We will have to be creative and connect our health and transport needs with our general public transport needs. Portiuncula could be one example of that as we make the amendments we need to make.
