Alan Dillon: ...across the country. Commuters cannot for the life of them understand how these restrictions are currently in place with no sign of catering services to be put in place any time soon. I think of routes such as Cork to Dublin, Westport to Dublin, and from Kerry, Cork and Limerick. Station-based shops are only available in bigger rail stations. I am calling on the Taoiseach to take up...

Those people's safety and livelihoods are at risk. I know the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, and...
