Córas Iompair Éireann inform me that when their vehicle position improves they will consider the needs of this and other areas where there is a demand for additional bus services. In these circumstances I would be unable to consider granting a licence to a private individual to run a bus service on this route.
In view of the fact that this area has no transport at all, would the Minister urge expedition upon Córas Iompair Éireann in regard to this particular service?
I am satisfied that the company are doing the best they can in the difficult circumstances to meet the demand for additional transport services.
