Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Safety of School Transport Bus Fleet: Road Safety Authority

Mr. Liam Duggan:
Absolutely, and that is unfair. It undermines those compliant operators who have good practices and who put in place proper systems and incur the costs of doing the right thing. It is grossly unfair that these people can do that. The committee has always been very supportive of us in targeting them and ensuring that we have the necessary powers and systems in place to do so. We are engaging with the Department on adopting fixed charges for offences. Those charges will be a significant game-changer.
