I thank Deputy McAuliffe. This is a very serious issue for many people. As the Deputy rightly said, public transport use is back to pre-pandemic levels. We want to ensure we are investing in public transport. It is a better way for people to travel. There are issues with recruitment and filling of vacancies, which have been raised. We have also had significant complaints in respect of buses not turning up or, in fact, turning up late. We in government will do everything we can to support both Dublin Bus and private operators to ensure they have the human resources they need to provide the services the citizens of Dublin need.
