Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Niamh Swords:
No. At the moment, we have a strong pipeline. We have a lot of growth coming up. Each week, we see at least ten drivers starting with us. Last Monday, we had 17 individuals start, which was great. What we find is that we hire a lot of people who have car licences and we train them up to get their bus licences. For some people, when the reality of doing the position hits, it does not work. That drives a little bit of the turnover. For us, internally, bringing that number down is hugely important.
