Eamon Ryan: I accept what the Deputy is saying. I happen to be meeting with Bus Éireann in the coming days and I will raise directly with its representatives this issue the Deputy has raised. I will make a couple of points. One issue we have is we have seen real success, particularly in the last two years, in public transport numbers. Last year they went up 23% nationally and this year, 12%...

Brendan Smith: The point I want to make is there are people getting on the buses that are bound for Cavan who are not travelling to County Cavan. They are getting off between Dublin and Cavan. When the buses arrive to either Virginia or Cavan town, those buses are not full. Cavan people quite understandably say to me - they would say it to Bus Éireann workers and others - that they were left behind....

Pauline Tully: I have a question on this issue, as Question No. 78 is on this specific route as well. These issues have beengoing on for years. A parliamentary question response from the NTA over a year ago stated that a revised timetable for routes 109 and 109X with capacity improvements was scheduled to go live on 24 September 2023 and that it continues to monitor passage usage levels, and yet the...

Alan Farrell: My question in relation to Question No. 54 is to do with the process that the NTA engages in response to overcrowding on service provision which is an ongoing issue. They are not responsive enough. I have seen this in my constituency. I have seen this on DCU-bound services from the north east, which would, of course, include counties Cavan, Monaghan, Louth, Meath and even Westmeath, where...

Eamon Ryan: In response to the three Deputies, we have mechanisms and encourage and the NTA delivers so-called "enhancements". Where we are finding that there may be a service that is under real pressure and a bus is full, we have the capability of funding and providing for additional buses. That is different to what I heard Deputies Tully and Smith talking about and I take the point. Are we are...

James O'Connor: 56. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on the Local Link services in the Cork East constituency: if there are any plans for new routes in 2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42103/24]

James O'Connor: I want to ask the Minister for Transport about the updating of the Local Link services. In my constituency, where they have been rolled out, they have been successful. That is good but I want to make the point that we have villages, such as Lady's Bridge, Ballymacoda, Lisgoold, Shanagarry and Garryvoe, that need further services. In some cases, and many of the villages I have just...

Eamon Ryan: As I am sure the Deputy will be aware, the National Transport Authority's Local Link rural transport programme is managed and administered in Cork by the Local Link offices in Bantry and Fermoy. I am pleased to confirm that I have secured Exchequer funding under budget 2025 for the roll-out of even more new and enhanced bus services throughout rural Ireland next year. This includes...

Matt Carthy: For all of those actions on the part of the Irish Government, if we want to be generous and describe them as such, here is what we know for sure. Israel could not be conducting a genocide in Gaza, carrying out its relentless attacks on the West Bank or be engaged in its invasion of Lebanon, including putting Irish peacekeeping members of the UNIFIL mission at risk, were it if not for the...
