Brian Stanley: Will you come back to me on the cost of those two Kilminchy ones, please? Thank you. I also have a question about the bus routes out of Portlaoise. I do not want to complain too much because we are well served and I use it an odd time myself. The bus to the airport - the green bus - is on the hour and it is great. It is a 24-hour service. There is one problem with it. Does the NTA get...

Brian Stanley: Is anybody looking to see what happens here? It is licensed to operate a route.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Brian Stanley: What has to be done to include that then?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
Brian Stanley: Will you ask them for a report on how often they broke down? What happens is the next bus picks them up. It is the only fault in that service, and where people are going to the airport, I get occasional complaints about it. I travel up and down the motorway and can see what is happening. The green bus is regularly broken down.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
Brian Stanley: It is a good service every other way. I acknowledge that. On the issue of connecting Local Link services to other services, the NTA cannot help it if, for example, a railway station is on one side of the town centre and bus drop-off points are on the other. The distance is not far, but are the connections with Local Link services under constant review? Helpfully, Local Link services...
