Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion
Mr. Stephen Kent:
They are in here for four years, have to come through and are supported. We are trying to maintain the ratio of apprentices coming into a garage so they act in a safe way. You cannot just put in lots of young apprentices; you have to do it so they are minded, guarded and trained properly. We are trying to manage that but looking for opportunities to expand that. Could we go to 35 and do it safely? They are the things we are looking at in the round. We will need it. What will be coming at us with more Connecting Ireland are more vehicles, not less. We will need greater and more-----
