asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware of the great hardship which will be caused to suburban workers travelling to and from their places of employment in the Dublin City area as a result of the seasonal influx of visitors and holiday makers; further, if he will consider recommending to Córas Iompair Éireann the need for instituting a scheme of priority travelling rights for such workers by means of special ticket issues or other methods.

I sympathise with the object the Deputy has in view, but I am afraid that the scheme he suggests would be impracticable. It is expected that relief will be afforded by the improved provision for city traffic which Córas Iompair Éireann hope to make this summer with the new omnibuses which are being brought into service.
