Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Public Service Obligation Bus Contracts: Discussion

11:15 am

Mr. Martin Nolan:

We are part of the National Integrated Rural Transport Committee, NIRTC, run by the NTA. We will be involved in pilots in 2013.

Deputy McHugh asked about schools transport. There have been large savings on schools transport which have been passed back to the Department of Education and Skills and used, in the main, to provide additional schools transport services for children with special needs.
