Mr. Hernan mentioned insurance costs. Every transport operator is being affected by insurance premium increases and claim increases. They cannot just go back to their customers and stop the service or increase prices. Surely Bus Éireann has a mechanism to overcome this so that given time it will roll over and come back to normality. Why is insurance a big issue?
