Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Safety of School Transport Bus Fleet: Road Safety Authority
9:30 am
Mr. Liam Duggan:
Exactly. What we understand is that Bus Éireann is working to make sure the operators who are in the second or third year of a contract also have safe vehicles and comply with the requirements we have been emphasising they should as part of the tendering process. Bus Éireann has taken a lot of action to address many of our concerns and we welcome this. With our enforcement and that of the Garda, we expect to see some improvements in the quality of vehicles in bus services generally and those employed on the school transport scheme.
