"Yes" is the answer to the Deputy's question. We are putting pressure on the NTA on the back of an incredible change in rural transport in particular. We are launching a new public transport service in rural Ireland every week, and the numbers are incredible. People are flocking to it. There was a 112% increase year on year last year, particularly among younger people in part because for anyone under 26 there is now an effective 60% reduction in fares. Because of that huge increase in the number of routes, the number of buses and the amount of demand, yes, we are looking at the issue of bus stops not only to make sure everyone knows where the buses are stopping but also to provide the sort of shelter the Deputy seeks. I expect the NTA will start responding to that, and we will support it with a programme of installing bus stops and shelters.
