Ms Moyagh Murdock:

I do not have that information but those in the old tranche still have the same obligations to be roadworthy and to have a valid roadworthiness certificate. However, the actual mechanics of establishing this mean it is more difficult to chase after a contract that has been awarded to see whether it is still valid instead of awarding a contract to someone who has presented all the information upfront. That was accurate at the time and new practices are now in place. We are satisfied, having been in touch with Bus Éireann, that it has changed the tendering process for all contracts awarded.
