Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal East, Fianna Fail)

It is an area that is growing greatly. Lots of young families are moving in there. I have had the pleasure of being in the Deputy's constituency on a number of occasions recently. You can see the development happening there. A great frustration for me is unreliability of public transport. This ghost bus phenomenon on certain routes is not acceptable. From time to time, things happen. Drivers can be sick, and people understand if this happens now and again.

However, the increased prevalence on certain routes is a matter of grave concern. I will speak to the NTA directly and TII on the Deputy's behalf about this and put forward his suggestions with regard to the C4 and the W6 services. I myself will come directly back to him on that.
