Eamon Ryan: This is an important issue, and Deputies want clarity, as I said. First, the delay here is because we did not have an Assembly in the North. That has been very regrettable, but we did not sit back and do nothing. The publication, as part of the strategic environmental assessment, SEA, of the review gave the broad outline of what is contained within it. I do not expect significant...

To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress in rolling out the local area hackney scheme; if further consideration will be given to the provision of hackney services in rural communities where it is not feasible to have a bus service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Brendan Smith: It is very welcome that there has been a substantial increase in Local Link services throughout rural Ireland in recent years. The Minister has placed a particular emphasis on public transport, and I welcome that. There are areas where it is not feasible to have a bus service. There are people - many elderly people and so on - who do not have immediate family support and do not have their...

Eamon Ryan: I will be perfectly honest. I do not think we are going to build a new rail line to Wexford and the south east. It makes much more sense to use a lot of the existing assets and make the most of them. It is not just about the Wexford to Dublin line. We also need to reopen the Rosslare to Waterford line which will improve connectivity between Wexford and Waterford. It will also allow us to...

Bernard Durkan: This question was tabled when the scene was not so clear in relation to negotiations in the Aer Lingus dispute. I understand and appreciate the fact that those negotiations have progressed in the meantime and I hope, at this stage, that positive progress can continue. Anything the Minister can do to facilitate and encourage that would be appreciated.
