Mr. Brendan O'Hanlon:

We really need to be careful because obviously, as the team has outlined, passenger numbers are going to increase and these are the same resources we are going to be asking to work. We need to ensure we look after our employees. We are not asking people to do more than can be reasonably expected of them, and some people have gone well beyond that even before the summer has fully begun. We need to manage and look after our staff and ensure they will be to the fore of any decision-making.

One of the Deputy's colleagues asked earlier what type of contracts and contingency we offer. It is one of those things whereby if we do not have resilience built into the roster, we might have to go down the road of having people "on call". We do not want that to be the type of work we offer. That is not what we are about. The roster should have enough resilience built in to be able to accommodate and soak up absences and so on. We do not want to get into an on-call scenario whereby we would have to call people at 2.30 a.m. to ask them whether they can come in to work. That is not what we are about. It is not how we run the organisation and it is not what we want to do.
