I wish to raise how the Government expects to entice people to use public transport as an alternative to their cars when it does not make any attempt to make it attractive to people. In particular, I raise this in light of what can only be described as Transport Infrastructure Ireland's opposition to installing bus shelters. Take my town of Cashel, which more than 400,000 people visit every year. I know they do not all use buses, but we have buses going to Cork, Dublin and Limerick and now Local Link. We expect people to get out of their cars and stand in the pouring rain. To the best of my knowledge - I may be wrong - in County Tipperary there are only seven bus shelters. Ours is the largest inland county, and there are only that many bus shelters there. To the best of my knowledge, there are none in Cashel, none in Nenagh, none in Templemore and none in Roscrea. If we are to be serious about people on public transport, we need to start providing shelters in order that, when people go on public transport, at least they are not standing out in poor weather. We have had people in Cashel going into shops just to get out of the weather. Will the Government put pressure on the National Transport Authority, NTA, to carry out an audit of these towns-----

You are way over time. Deputy.

-----and to install shelters there?

"Yes" is the answer to the Deputy's question. We are putting pressure on the NTA on the back of an incredible change in rural transport in particular. We are launching a new public transport service in rural Ireland every week, and the numbers are incredible. People are flocking to it. There was a 112% increase year on year last year, particularly among younger people in part because for anyone under 26 there is now an effective 60% reduction in fares. Because of that huge increase in the number of routes, the number of buses and the amount of demand, yes, we are looking at the issue of bus stops not only to make sure everyone knows where the buses are stopping but also to provide the sort of shelter the Deputy seeks. I expect the NTA will start responding to that, and we will support it with a programme of installing bus stops and shelters.
