Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Bus Éireann: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Willie Quigley:

We hope the WRC may influence the company to do what it has refused to do for us. Each union has written three times to the company but has not received a response. We want to unhinge the lock where the company has set down preconditions. The Minister says, day after day, that each side should start with a blank sheet. If we could get the WRC to bring about that position, then I think the door will be opened to meaningful engagement.
