The responsibility for meeting the demand for transport facilities has been placed by the Transport Act, 1950, on the board of Córas Iompair Éireann. I would suggest that the Deputy might communicate direct with the board in the matter.
If I do so, is the Minister prepared to make a statement that he will back up such application as I make?
The number of similar questions which have been asked this year will convince the Deputy of the responsibility which the Minister would be undertaking if he agreed to support all these.
