I love how the Minister of State described as a significant changes the addition of one "late evening service", as he described it.

The late evening service left 45 minutes ago so I cannot avail of it. I am not sure what time the Minister of State regards as late evening. He mentioned the six services available to people I represent in Rathdrum, Arklow and Gorey. Equidistant from Dublin is Carlow, represented ably by the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, from which there are 11 services daily. Commuters travelling from Dundalk have 16 services while those coming from Portlaoise, equidistant from Dublin with Arklow or Gorey, have 32 services. I do not believe six daily services, in competition with a clogged-up M11, could be regarded as significant investment.
