Ms Fiona Ross:

My absolute priority is to do as much as I can on that in my second term. We have made great progress in the past three years. We have been off track, legally, since 2017. We have made good progress. We may be lucky and make additional progress in the next couple of weeks but I cannot speak to that. The ballot is under way.

Given the scale of the investment outlined by the operating companies and what the State is giving to the public transport network, I owe it to taxpayers to make sure the organisation is as financially stable as possible. We are looking to reform the pension on that basis.
