Ms Anne Graham:

We have done analysis, and continue to do so, with Iarnród Éireann of its distance-based fares and have tried to establish a fairer structure related to distance for Iarnród Éireann's fares. We accept that changes must be made to Bus Éireann fares, but there is much work involved in the number because it is quite an extensive fare structure. We have already commenced work with Bus Éireann to see how to establish a better and fairer fare structure for Bus Éireann services.
