Did the Minister see any of the reports or witness any of the reports being given to the Department during 2016 that identified Bus Éireann as being in a serious and precarious financial situation? I have to say to the Minister that there was complete and utter inaction by him, his predecessor and the management of Bus Éireann for over one year, knowing that the company was haemorrhaging money. We now have a situation where, despite what the Minister says, letters have been issued to the workers with confirmation - it is not a threat - that wages will be reduced from 20 February.
