Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

The Deputy has raised a very reasonable and very fair point about the importance of toilet facilities and wheelchair accessibility on a bus, particularly a bus bringing sick people to their cancer treatment. I engaged on this matter with the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, this morning to discuss funding streams that may be available in that area. I hear from the Deputy’s comments now that she believes it should be through the HSE. I take that point. I will engage with the Ministers, Deputies Humphreys and Donnelly, to see if we can make progress and come back to the Deputy.
