-----something else comes up. Our roads are not up to standard and many of the roads on which school buses travel are certainly not up to standard. There are sloes and bog ramparts and most of them are sunk down after the weather this summer and that will manifest in problems for all vehicles travelling those roads in the coming weeks. It is wrong to say that some bus contractors are in some way cowboy operators. I have to point out that, along with the departmental test, the Garda has to check public service vehicles. Bus Éireann also employs Freight Transport Association, FTA, at least in Kerry.
