Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:
We know generally about the growth in terms of the demand on those corridors and assess them on an annual basis to see which passenger numbers are growing or not. I will give the example of the Dublin-Galway corridor, which has a number of operators. During the same period in which we saw growth in the Dublin-Cork and Dublin-Limerick corridors, where there were additional services, there were no additional service on the Dublin-Galway corridor and things more or less remained static in terms of passengers. We know that there is no further demand for services on the Dublin-Galway corridor but there was certainly potential demand on the Dublin-Cork and the Dublin-Limerick corridors that has now been provided by the additional licences.
