I thank the Acting Chairperson. I will highlight very clearly that estates do not have access. When will the safe routes to school programme open again? It opened before and there was a deluge of applications. That programme is all about people, families and parents being able to have ways to drop off or pick up their kids. As for the school bus transport review, how is Bus Éireann working with the Department of Education on this? How will we cut down the number of parents who are travelling in their cars by providing additional bus services, particularly in the Galway-Roscommon area?East Galway has poor infrastructure. We were able to fight for an extra budget allocation last year to deliver in this regard. Finally, I thank the Minister of State for the update. I ask him to look at variable speed limits when he is considering the transport speed limit review.
