I acknowledge the legislative requirement but for tourists and domestic travellers, between Leap, CIE, Iarnród Éireann, Bus Éireann, Luas, NTA, Transport for Ireland, and not to mention all the taxi companies, is it time a single name was used? Those who are not familiar with the airport when they land in Dublin encounter Aircoach, the green bus, Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and if they look at their smartphones, they will come across Transport for Ireland. They will say to themselves, "This is a bizarre set up". When one lands in Boston or a European city, one encounters a single transport entity when one arrives.
