Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Coach Sector: Discussion
Mr. Brian Lynch:
On that point, as individual operators are very risk-averse, they know within their own staffing who is a good driver. It is simple as that. If a company has a good driver and he is healthy and does an annual medical when he is over 70 years of age, there really is not an issue. We have had several such drivers. What happens for commercial bus operators in the school transport system is that it is constrained by its own system.
