We are all conscious that when accidents happen, everyone looks at everything and asks "Why?" Therefore, we know and we all understand. First of all, I should have said at the start that we, as a committee and a public, appreciate the work all the organisations do in the various operational environments in which they work, both in tourism and rural areas but equally in Dublin in very built-up, congested areas and often in areas where there is sometimes a level of antisocial behaviour and difficulty. I presume it can be quite a lonely job driving a bus late at night on a rural road or wherever and equally in an urban area. Therefore, it is important to say that we appreciate all the work that has been done right across the system.
