Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority

Mr. Hugh Creegan:
We will do it, we will not sit on this. On the issue of green buses and natural gas buses, that is something we have been looking at but they are more expensive. In a time of constrained funding, the choice is between up-to-date diesel vehicles or fewer higher technology and more environmentally friendly vehicles. We prefer to have more buses on the road.
