I propose to take Questions Nos. 219, 220, 221 and 222 together.
I wish to inform the Deputy that I have not received the correspondence referred to regarding bus and cab operators in County Louth.
In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
