Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

I have two questions for the Minister of State. He said the legislation must be overhauled. I cannot understand why that was not done in the recent Dublin Transport Authority Bill. When will the legislation be brought before the House? The Minister also said a new application has been made by Dublin Bus. However, Dublin Bus finds it difficult to get a quick response from the Department. What is the timetable for responding to the new application made yesterday to provide more services in the area?
