Anthony Lawlor (Kildare North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I acknowledge the work being done by the Labour Relations Commission in addressing the Bus Éireann issue and other issues.

During the strike by Bus Éireann drivers on Monday, I noted that a significant number of private operators took up the slack in my home town of Naas. Bus Éireann needs to be cognisant that a large number of private operators are willing to take up the slack if and when the company's workers do not operate routes. I hope the ongoing talks will be successful and the issue will be resolved quickly.
