Dunmanway and Clonakilty are two of the most important towns in my constituency. They are about 20 km apart. It takes just over 20 minutes to drive from Clonakilty to Dunmanway, but if I want to take a bus there tomorrow, it would take me about two hours because I would have to go via Bandon. What the people of Dunmanway and Clonakilty need is a direct bus service between the towns.

Speaking of Dunmanway, I congratulate the organisers of the Feel the Force festival. It is a "Star Wars" themed festival and it was a great success. There were Wookiees, stormtroopers and Jedi Knights. I am not sure if Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, George Lucas or Mark Hamill watched all proceedings, but if they are listening, I ask that they would attend the festival next year, as it will be on again. Perhaps the Taoiseach could reach out to them and invite them to come to Dunmanway to the Feel the Force "Star Wars" festival next year.

I am not sure if I would have any success but I am happy to advocate on Deputy O'Sullivan's behalf. I congratulate the organisers of Feel the Force. I take the serious point he makes about Dunmanway and Clonakilty at a time when we are trying to encourage people to be able to use more public transport. We need to do more in particular in rural Ireland. I know the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is very committed to this. I will raise with him directly the point on the need for that direct bus service. May the force be with you.
