Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Expressway Services: Bus Eireann and NTA

Ms Anne Graham:
The Deputy asked about licences and whether we could insist that a licence applicant should serve certain towns. We cannot insist on that as that is not how the legislation works. The decisions on towns operated by a licenceholder are made by the company as it is a commercial operation. We cannot put upon a commercial operator the obligation to go off a route it chooses to operate to serve a small town.
