Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:30 pm

Mr. Ray Hernan:

Certainly, that is something we have at the front of the mind in terms of fuel efficiency, etc. That is why we are introducing new technology on board our buses to reduce the carbon footprint of the organisation. Although that is under way, we are some way from the use of electric buses, etc. in rural areas. It is probably closer to being implemented elsewhere. It is not specifically on our radar, but it is closer to potential implementation in the main towns we serve such as Cork, Limerick and Galway where the population is more dense.
