Amharc ar fhreagraI do not see any appropriate avenue for support under the aegis of my Department for such an organisation. Neither have I received a request to meet with the group.
The Programme for Government recognises the importance of the rural transport network for rural communities as a reliable and sustainable transport service. The Programme includes a commitment to maintain and extend the Rural Transport Programme with other local transport services as much as is practicable and my Department is currently working towards achieving this aim.
