My Department is currently preparing regulations in respect of formal contracts with ferry operators providing services which incorporate road transport links. It is hoped to have these regulations published at an early date.

These regulations, which will be subject to the consent of the Ministers for Finance and Transport, will set down the agreed destinations for connecting bus passenger services and will form the basis for entering into formal contracts in these particular cases.
