Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Mr. Callely)

In the light of the recent representations to me in this regard, I am currently reviewing the issues raised by the Deputy with a view to finding a solution to the difficulties which have been recently brought to my attention and I will revert back to him in due course on the matter.
