Réada Cronin: There are so many new services. It is great to see new services coming on stream but they are mainly privatised. An instance in my constituency involves route 821, which serves Caragh. The bus is not turning up or a proper bus does not turn up and it is a half-sized bus. There was an upsetting experience recently with a constituent with an intellectual disability who uses that bus to get...

Réada Cronin: In fairness, most children go to school in Sallins or Naas so if children are travelling, they are travelling once a week. The adult fare has also been affected. Many people work three days per week so they are not getting full advantage of the five days on the Leap card. We need to look at this again.

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Planning, Approving and Delivering Transport Infrastructure Projects: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Réada Cronin: Taking into account that some people work three or four days a week in Dublin and two days a week from home, that means the increase has gone from €3 to €5 if they work four days a week in Dublin and more than that if they work two days a week from home. I would love if the NTA looked at that again. That comes under its remit.

Réada Cronin: With the bells going off and all the rest of it, I am not sure if Mr. Creegan replied to my question about private providers. How can we ensure they are providing an appropriate and reliable service? To whom are they answerable? Instead of writing to Martleys, should I be writing to the NTA?

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Planning, Approving and Delivering Transport Infrastructure Projects: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Réada Cronin: It is the 821 route. It affects a young man with an intellectual disability. It prevents him from going to work. It is important for people with intellectual disabilities to be able to go to work. Often, they are in receipt of supports and for him to have a job to perform and to know he is important in that role is important.

Emergency Action on Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jun 2025)

The President, Uachtarán na hÉireann, called it disastrous when he came to my constituency in north Kildare. Record level house prices, rising rents and missing its own building targets year after year is the Government's record on housing as well as misleading people in the last general...
