Mr. Brendan Crowley:

On school transport, we have spoken about a very obvious one. My colleague, Mr. Conway, has also just mentioned a system that works in the UK where a heavy goods vehicle, HGV, can be driven at 21 years old. A bus can also be driven by a 21-year-old in the UK, albeit with limitations or restrictions, whereas in Ireland, you have to be 21 years old before you can get your provisional licence so essentially, you will be 22 years old or older before you are ever able to work a day behind the wheel of a bus or a coach. There is certainly scope to look at that and to widen the band on both ends of the age profile.
