in terms of carbon emissions and in terms of costs.

So I think this is one of the areas that our government really needs to get stronger on.

It is the joined up thinking, bringing the different entities together to try and solve these common problems that we have.

Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, we have planning systems in place which allow people to express their reservations, constraints, concerns.

That's important.

But we're also starting to look at critical infrastructure now and ways of making sure that the long planning delays that we have been experiencing aren't holding them up.

And so I do think it warrants...

Thinking about when these are issues of national infrastructure, this is our ability to enable the public to travel on public transport to get to where they need to go.

It's critical to the way that the country can run that.

Yeah, we need to be looking at things differently and where we have these blockages.

We have to get solutions minded and stop blaming each other, which is, again, something I read in that article and actually come together and say, right, how are we going to solve this?

It needs to be solved.

Let's set a deadline and get these buses on the road.

Yeah, I think it's a big implementation problem that we have.

We have the same problem with offshore wind.

This has the potential to be the greatest story.

We have electric buses being manufactured on the island of Ireland, helping to decarbonise the island of Ireland.

And we can't get it done.

And that's just a crying shame.

And I think, you know, we need to do better.
