Mr. Billy Hann:

When the Deputy refers to where the buses should have been, he should note they were following their routes, as one would expect. From central control, we were proactively managing where they should or should not go. We have access to Dublin City Council CCTV cameras, so we were keeping our buses and staff away from the affected areas as best we could. However, it is important to recognise the speed at which the events escalated. At the time, we had buses in the affected areas. Once the events escalated, we were trying to plot the safest route out for our drivers and buses. You could not avoid having at least a small number of buses in the situation they were in.
