The point is that the address from the Road Safety Authority makes it clear that the processes and procedures are with Bus Éireann. The committee is dealing with the road safety and the point is that if a bus is dangerous, it should not be on the road. The problem must be addressed, ideally on the spot, if it is dangerously defective. If it is not, a reasonable time is afforded to put it right. That is why Ms Murdock is here. That is why this meeting is taking place. All those other issues are important, but the primacy must be the child or adult on the bus, full stop.
