Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Bus Coach Sector: Discussion

Mr. David Conway:

Yes, because some, but not all, insurance policies stipulate that 25 is the minimum age of driving. I faced this challenge when I hit my 21st birthday. I managed to overcome it but that was a long time ago. We have spoken specifically about drivers. There are challenges across all of the support functions. We maintain and operate an excellent fleet to the highest of standards. For that to be maintained, we need more engineers in the country to work on those vehicles and training schemes need to be there for them-----
