I thank Mr. Murphy for appearing before the committee. His CV is impressive and his background in supply and logistics and his membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport make him a suitable person for the job. Mr. Murphy mentioned bringing down the average age of the fleet. What is the average age of the fleet currently? Deputy Coffey asked about apps. I know Dublin Bus has an app because I live in a Dublin constituency where somebody standing at a bus stop can find out what time the next bus is due by using an app. Does Bus Éireann have a similar type of app? I represent a constituency which does not have Bus Éireann services but I am aware that a large percentage of commuters from Meath, Kildare and Wicklow come to Dublin to work every day using Bus Éireann or their cars. How would Mr. Murphy propose to persuade somebody who currently travels in and out of the city by car to switch to public transport?
