I thank Mr. Murphy and welcome you all here today. This work from SIPTU is vitally important. It is a tipping point. It brings together the anecdotal experience that thousands of us have felt on public transport, as well as issues that maybe made the media, but crystallises it into one report which needs to act as a tipping point in terms of action on this issue. If our workers are not safe, that means our passengers are not safe, which means any gains or growth in public transport will end up going backwards, and that is not where we want to go. I call on our first member today, Senator Boylan. The Senator has ten minutes.
