Kieran O'Donnell: I apologise. We are seeing a recovery and people have come through very difficult times since 2008.

Kieran O'Donnell: It is always on offer and it may offer a solution. I am a Deputy representing Limerick city and many bus operators would have been taking people to the venue in Dublin. These circumstances will put them under enormous financial pressure, and this is an example of how the issue has permeated throughout Ireland. What window of opportunity remains to find a solution?

Kieran O'Donnell: I read with interest recently about the small areas policing programme, which is essentially about having gardaí on the beat. The scheme is operational in Dublin.
