Mr. Martin Nolan:

Bus Éireann remains committed to providing the best school transport system in the most efficient and economic manner. The management of the schools bus network to deliver 40 million child journeys each year is co-ordinated and integrated where possible with the provision of local transport services. This is done with both public and privately-owned transport so as to make the best use of local resources and to minimise costs. I thank the committee for hearing us today.
