Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I welcome that the Minister agreed to my earlier question that he would raise with the National Transport Authority and Bus Éireann the possibility of introducing early morning and late afternoon direct services between Cavan, Virginia and Whitegate and Dublin. That would ease a lot of the problems in relation to the disappointment so many commuters have on an ongoing basis in not getting a bus at the scheduled time. They are standing at a bus stop, many of them coming from hospital appointments and so on. It is not acceptable.
