‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Transport supports for rural Ireland
Summary
Deputy Mattie McGrath pressed for a debate on discrimination against rural transport users and said the Minister for Transport was absent. The Taoiseach said the Minister was engaging with operators and argued he was more in touch with rural Ireland than the Deputy suggested.
We cannot have a debate on everything we might want to debate in the one week. That said, on the point the Deputy has raised, the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has engaged with the transport operators.

My understanding is that he has and that he will continue to do so. He has connections in Tipperary. He has connections in Cork. He has connections in a lot of places, apparently.

You would not think it listening to him.
