Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

It is very important. The bus was packed full. I am calling on the Taoiseach and the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to get into meaningful talks with Bus Éireann and others to ensure the Expressway routes continue to operate and provide people in rural Kerry with transport back and forth from the county. I call on them to take action now to prevent the strike that is looming. I do not think it is below their station to get into talks with Bus Éireann to ensure the people of Kerry and rural Ireland have proper transport.
