Public Accounts Committee
National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011
1:00 pm
Mr. Gerry Murphy:
I do not disagree.
Chopping a public transport service for a major conurbation like Waterford in the end completely disadvantages it. The challenge we face is that we have the short-term issue of the costs and maintaining the companies' ability to run services, and then there is the question of what we want to do for Waterford. In that regard - Ms Graham might pick up the point - we are trying to look this year at strategising on rail services, rather than short-term cuts.
