Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy is to be congratulated on receiving an exceptionally good briefing from Dublin Bus. That is the message which it has attempted to present to me for some time. However, there is no benefit to the customer in playing the blame game as an integrated ticketing system is required. I have had more meetings on this issue than on any other subject and it has been a source of deep frustration. I am not prepared to spend any more money on it until I can be sure, on behalf of the taxpayer, that this system will be put in place and that value for money is secured. I have an open mind on the money which has been spent to date. It is good and bankable.
