Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Bus Éireann: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Willie Quigley:

I do not think that any one thing will fix this problem. A lot of issues need fixing. In 2013 members entered the cost recovery plan and took cuts, having had no wage increases since 2008. This was on the basis that the company had told both them and the Labour Court that if doing so would secure the future of the company. The management which presided over the company from 2013 have run out of the door on big packages and we have not been told much about them, which is causing great suspicion.
