Ms Andrea Keane:

I am happy to take that question. Staff tend to stay with Dublin Bus for a long period and some spend their entire careers with Dublin Bus. We lose around 70 staff to retirement every year and one of the measures we are looking at, in conjunction with our trade union colleagues and staff representatives, is a longer working policy which would allow people, if they so wish, to stay with the company beyond the normal retirement age. On retaining staff, I am proud to say that in 2021 Dublin Bus topped the list of companies in Ireland's top 150 companies to work for, best employee guide, and I believe that terms and conditions will attract and retain staff.
