As I see it, the State, through the Department, has invested in 400 buses that can only be used for 33 weeks of the year. That makes no business sense to either the Department, Bus Éireann or the taxpayer. Does Mr. Kent understand my point? For example, Bus Éireann could not afford to keep other buses locked up for 20 weeks of the year. It makes no sense. What percentage of buses is provided by the private sector?
