There is a slight bit of light in the Minister's reply because he said that work is ongoing on proposals for the redesign of the bus services network and infrastructure proposals for core bus corridors. In other words, his Department will take proposals on same. The Minister and the Department have enjoyed so much success with the roll out of the Luas project that it is now causing headaches. This area of public transport has been under-resourced. The numbers prove that the core public transport infrastructure is very slight in the area. Mr. Paul McAuliffe and his group will make submissions and will push their plan. They appreciate the Minister's support and his willingness to listen.
