Ms Anne Graham:

It is open to any operator to apply for a temporary licence to provide services. It can also provide auxiliary services on its existing licensed services and alert us to those auxiliary services. That position is in place regardless of whether industrial action takes place or not. Our responsibility is to give the public transport customers as much information as possible about what services are running and we do this on our Transport for Ireland website and with our national journey planner. It will have the up-to-date position about what services are operating.
