Current Financial Situation at Bus Éireann, the Expressway Service and the Rural Transport Programme

Mr. Ray Hernan:

As I indicated, we are doing a complete review of the whole organisation's structures. This review is ongoing and I hope to have it completed in full by the end of March. Arising from that, I hope to get the best structure in the organisation. What this means in terms of staff numbers, I cannot say at this point but I will say that we do not have, as part of an initial plan we presented to the trade unions, any intention to provide a voluntary severance package as part of that plan. Such a package is not in the plan. If voluntary redundancies are required after the completion of the review, I have outlined what these severance terms would be. However, this matter is not on the agenda at the moment.
