Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion
9:00 am
Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I have spoken to drivers who feel helpless about the situation but know in their heart and soul that someone is availing of a pass which is not theirs. Revenue is being lost to the system as a result and I think this is a big feature of the fact that Bus Éireann is incurring huge losses. It is a great scheme for those who are entitled to it but we all get reports of this happening. Will there be a cut-off point? What measures will the Department take to assist vulnerable people and ensure that they are not the victims of this?
