According to the figures an average of ten to 20 passes are confiscated per day by Irish Rail and Bus Éireann confiscates approximately 50 passes per month. Dublin Bus issued 488 penalties for misuse. I am trying to factor this into the figure we are paying to the companies for the service. What is the level of fraud and what figure does the Department put on it? Ms O'Donoghue cannot give me that figure either.
