I would like to hear from Dublin Bus and the NTA about Newcastle and I would like to hear from the NTA regarding weekend train services, Uber and VRT.

Before they do, though, I would like to make a final point. After the organisations' previous meeting with us, the National Bus and Rail Union, NBRU, contacted parliamentary representatives and stated in very clear language that it felt that the NTA had set unachievable demands on Dublin Bus. What is the NTA's response? The same letter referred to family-friendly policies for workers, the review of rosters, time behind the wheel and facilitation of holidays. Does Mr. Hann believe that these matters have an impact on the ability to recruit and retain staff?
