I thank the Minister of State. It is great to hear that he will come to Donegal. The model there is working. There are just wee pockets that have been left behind. If they could be taken into consideration, we would have a scheme that would work for everybody. I know of four elderly people in Mountcharles who have no vehicle or cannot drive. A service to bring them into Donegal town would be great.
I appreciate the Minister of State coming to the House to answer my questions. I hope Ardara, Glenties and Portnoo will be taken into the review and more daily services, like that in Glencolumbkille, will be run.
While I have the Minister of State here, and perhaps I should not do this and I know he had nothing to do with the issue, but I would like him to take back to the Minister for Transport an issue about the A5. It is a major issue for us in Donegal. The project has been shelved again. My phone has been inundated with comments from people on the issue. I would like the Minister of State to ask the Minister to come to the Seanad to answer questions and see whether we can get that project up and running again.
