Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Éireann: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Greg Ennis:
Deputy Catherine Murphy raised the issue of the letter on 16 January. The letter of 18 January is even more concerning. The issue of what would happen drivers was dealt with by my colleague, Mr. O'Leary. In the letter of 18 January, it is stated there is no voluntary severance scheme and that the redundancy package will be two plus two - statutory - and so on. This rings of something.
Private operators are using publicly funded roadways to make a killing. Maybe one way of dealing with the private operators is to impose a tariff for using public roadways.
