School Transport 2023-2024: Statements (3 Oct 2023)

Christopher O'Sullivan: When it comes to school transport and the review, we need to over-provide. This whole eligible versus concessionary thing has to go, within reason.

A statistic that is probably less well-known is that last year Cork had the highest number of road fatalities.

Christopher O'Sullivan: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The Chairman will be revelling in this SUV bashing as he certainly is not a fan. Not many of us are fans. The discussion so far has been very one-sided but defending SUVs is difficult, especially when we consider the information in Mr. Nix's last slide, which referred to the safety implications of these larger cars. It is very hard to defend...
