Ms Andrea Keane:

Our drivers and all of our team are dedicated employees who turn up for the customer every day. I am very happy and proud to say our absenteeism levels are on a par, or better, than those of some of our peers. However, we are part of the community. Thus, if Covid is in the community, it will impact Dublin Bus. We had strong systems in place to protect our employees and customers during 2020 and 2021. We operated very well but there was Covid absenteeism. This winter, we will reflect and be mindful of what is happening in the community.
