Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

Was the announcement made for political reasons? Who originally suggested that 200 Bus Éireann jobs could be shifted? Leaving aside the fact that none of Bus Éireann's employees is prepared to move and the debate on the benefits or otherwise of the decentralisation of Bus Éireann, how did the Government get it so wrong when it suggested that it was possible to transfer 200 jobs to Mitchelstown?
