Mr. Aidan Murphy:

Obviously, I am disappointed if either Deputy Catherine Murphy or her constituents in Kildare are experiencing difficulties. We have had difficulties. It is not correct to say we have an industrial relations issue. What we have is the implementation of a very significant change plan within the organisation. As I said, up to 60 individual items of the Labour Court recommendation have been implemented, and the high level of absenteeism, at up to 14%, is creating a situation where we do not have the drivers to drive the services daily. What we are doing as a consequence of that is hiring in other transport on a contract basis but, unfortunately, some of the vehicles that are available do not have the same capacity as our own vehicles, which does create some of the issues the Deputy has raised. We actually have been public in advising people that is the case. I am disappointed if the Deputy is encountering any difficulties getting communication back and I will address that directly to her. We will resolve that there is a contact line for her specifically to contact and to get information on particular issues.
