Bus 243 Newmarket to Cork
Deputy O'Shea sought an update on the proposed 243 bus service between Newmarket and Cork city. The Minister said rural transport funding had increased substantially and the NTA was working with Bus Éireann on improvements.
It is not often that I find myself in agreement with the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Healy-Rae, but this morning, he tweeted that the Government had opened the door to commercial LNG facilities becoming part of the energy mix in Ireland and I fear he might be correct. Could the Minister clarify whether the Minister of State is wrong? Will the Minister commit that this Government will follow the policy of the previous Government and oppose commercial LNG facilities becoming part of the energy mix in Ireland?
