What Ms Graham is telling me is that it was possible, under the same European Union regulation and the same national law, to have one service provided on a total network basis and another provided on the basis of a self-declaration by a company on which services were commercial and which were subject to a public service obligation. In so doing the company discommoded itself by placing itself at a serious disadvantage. Will the NTA allow this total dichotomy and different interpretation of the same law to continue, with the obvious results we see for the poor staff of Bus Éireann?
