Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

A Vision for Public Transport: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Willie Noone:

I will just outline the headings. We should review the legislative remit and performance of the National Transport Authority, and the issues and difficulties we have with that. We should support a derogation for Ireland and the application of the Fourth Railway Package. We should review and amend the current legislation on the EU directives, which is flawed. We should support a sector employment order in both the PSO part of the market and for the commercial bus market.

A number of our workers who are employed in these companies were involved in a number of industrial disputes recently. It would be remiss of me not to add that this needs to be seriously examined to ensure that the chaos that has prevailed among our membership with regard to conditions of employment and security of employment are addressed.
