asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is aware that the bus service on the Howth-Raheny route is inadequate for the increasing population in the area, and, if so, if he will authorise C.I.E. to extend their bus services beyond Killester to serve this route.

The provision of bus services to points beyond Killester on the Howth-Raheny route is a matter for the G.N.R. Board. Any representations in the matter should therefore be made direct to the board.
