Ms Andrea Keane:

I am happy to provide all that information from a Dublin Bus point of view. We have a team of 3,800 in total and a driver team of 2,800. This year, we have recruited 290 new drivers into our team, which is well in excess of previous years, but we still have in excess of 150 driver vacancies to cope with the expanded network. We have a good record of low staff turnover. Our staff tend to come to Dublin Bus to stay and we are very happy to have a well-qualified, professional driver team.
