Challenges Facing the Coach Tourism Transport Sector as a result of Covid-19: Discussion

I thank the witnesses for their presentation. Apart from the necessary financial supports requested by the CTTC, what actions are needed to be taken by State agencies, in particular, Tourism Ireland, and, to a certain extent, Fáilte Ireland, to promote your members' businesses and to get agencies to respond to the point raised by Mr. Buckley about engendering confidence in people to use coach travel again? What marketing and other initiatives are needed?
Many CTTC operators are contracted to work in the school transport area. Will the CTTC outline the perceived impact on coach travel in the school transport area as a result of Covid? Perhaps the following question is too broad. Given a review of the school transport system is ongoing at present - I do not know if an answer can be given within three minutes - how would the CTTC solve the school transport challenge?
