Mr. Dermot O'Leary:

I will not go into too much detail on that. There were a few incidents where that may have happened but my role in supporting Mr. Delaney and Ms Hill is to ensure the committee understands there are no industrial relations impediments to people being assisted either on or off buses. If there are issues that I must address with the company's management, and Mr. Delaney highlighted a few to me earlier, I will do that. He mentioned the fact that the three executives in situare progressive and open minded and will listen to people such as him, the committee members and the trade union. The disability issue was underplayed but thanks to Mr. Delaney and Senator Dolan that has now changed. I hope it will change even more. There are 643,000 people with disabilities in this country, which is a phenomenal number. I probably did not answer the Deputy's question directly but there are no industrial relations issues. That is one of the strong messages I want the committee to hear today.
