The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, does not want to wipe anybody out for that matter or any private transport operator. They will not be wiped out either. The fullness of time will show that. The Deputy was up in this House advocating for measures to reduce the cost of living. In the budget I thought it was a very imaginative and good move to reduce fares on public transport for young people. To me that is an excellent decision.
