The operation of the Rural Transport Programme (formerly known as the Rural Transport Initiative) is a matter for my colleague Minister of State Pat the Cope Gallagher TD, Department of Transport. Separately, my Department is developing proposals to establish a pilot night-time transport scheme which will be additional to the Rural Transport Programme and I hope to make an announcement in this regard in the coming weeks.
