asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will request C.I.E. to improve the present inadequate bus service for the Artane, Coolock, and Bradshaw estate areas, County Dublin.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will request C.I.E. to provide adequate bus services in the new housing areas in County Dublin, and thus remove a long standing grievance of residents in such areas.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle I propose to take Questions Nos. 16 and 17 together.

C.I.E. and the G.N.R. Board are responsible for the provision of adequate transport in new housing areas in County Dublin. Any representations in the matter should, therefore, be made to these undertakings.
