I propose to take Questions Nos. 644 and 645 together.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Priority Question No.127 and Oral Question 130 which I answered earlier.

I have also referred the Deputy's question to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
