Robert O'Donoghue (Dublin Fingal West, Labour)

I thank the Minister of State for his response. This is a good scheme but there are idiosyncrasies in it that need to be ironed out so the constituents of Dublin Fingal West will be encouraged to use public transport. I understand that distance travelled is one of the criteria in establishing zones, but it seems incredibly unfair that the fares of students travelling two stops from Rush-Lusk over the zone border to Balbriggan have increased threefold since last week. I would be quite happy to meet and work with the Minister, who knows the area quite well, to try to work towards a resolution on this. I thank the Minister of State for his time this morning.
