Rural Ireland wants to use public transport but we are making it very difficult. The 800 bus through Tullow town only meets the Arklow train to Dublin and not the Carlow train to Dublin. It is also stops far short of the new ETB campus on the Kilkenny Road in Carlow. The Taoiseach will know there are thousands of learners there but it is not served by public transport. We need to address all of these issues. We need to look at the services to make sure they are there for people. While I am speaking to the Taoiseach, I will also look for an update on the N80 road, which runs just outside of Carlow. He will be aware of the accidents there. Will he give me an update as regards safety and funding?
