It is relevant to the Department more so, and the RSA. In relation to the bus drivers, it is pertinent that many parents are working and instead of a bus driver collecting their children from school - this is all to do with the tender process of Bus Éireann - they have their parents collecting them, many of whom are in their 80s. It is craziness. We need to be practical. We need to apply reason. We need to stop giving the tender to Bus Éireann if it is not capable of lifting that rule.
