Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is a key point. If a person gets a train or bus here in Dublin, we are talking €1 or €2. If a person gets a bus 30 miles in rural Ireland, he or she could pay €10 or €15 for a return ticket. It gets much more price sensitive when we get up to the bigger ones. That is why I am asking about whether the NTA has differentiated between price sensitivity and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That was another question I asked. Have we empirical research evidence or is it just that the NTA knows for a fact? The witnesses accept as fact that frequency drives patronage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What is the minimum service?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Ceannteidil an Bhille um Údarás na Gaeltachta (Leasú), 2022: Grinnscrúdú Réamhreachtach (Atógáil) (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the NTA clarify a matter with regard to the RRS? At present, who decides where the bus stops are and how far apart they are? Can buses stop on an on-demand system, as the old Bus Éireann buses did? We need clarity on that. We will not get all these bus stops overnight in most rural places so we need to know what the arrangement is in the meantime. I am getting conflicting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: To Limerick Junction. There are plenty of services from Limerick Junction on, but how does someone get there? If someone wants to go from Waterford to Limerick directly, via Limerick Junction, there are two services. Similarly the train to Ballybrophy, Roscrea, Nenagh, Birdhill, Casteconnell and Limerick goes through sizeable towns, and a sizable heavy urban area, but there are two...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am also very keen on that, as the Leas-Chathaoirleach knows. I cannot understand why that was closed in the first place.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am asking about any bus service. I do not care. People do not care. They just want to get a bus from Galway. The last Citylink bus to Clifden is at 17:30 and the last Bus Éireann service is at 18:15. Buses later on go as far as Oughterad but not Clifden.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The point is that after 6 p.m. neither Bus Éireann or Citylink run a service to Clifden. It is not a disadvantage to have these licensed services and subsidised services running on the same routes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Or whatever way it is. I do not know what the Bus Éireann service to Clifden is. All I know is the people do not care who runs the service. They do not care whether it is a licensee or PSO or whatever.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Their other question is what the fare is. There is no service in the evening after 6.15 p.m. The NTA's complications are not their problem. They want to know when and how long does it take for the penny to drop that a service is needed to Clifden after 6 p.m..

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What about trains?

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 May 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have raised this question many times but no progress has been made. Another long, cold winter has gone by. I raised the issue of Travellers living in totally unsuitable mobile homes and caravans. The only response was an inadequate pilot caravan loan scheme that only reached a tiny fraction of the people who urgently require proper accommodation. When will we be able to say each and...
