Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Bus Services (22 Sep 2022)

James Lawless: My question relates to the reliability of bus services in County Kildare.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Bus Services (22 Sep 2022)

In fact, it was considered by the regular commuters on the bus that the service would improve and there was a bit of excitement about it. I replied to some representations at the time saying that there was light at the end of the tunnel because a new operator was coming on...

I will share a few examples with the Minister. I have had...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Business of Joint Committee (22 Sep 2022)

James Lawless: I wish committee members and our visitors a good morning. They are most welcome. I must get some formalities out of the way. We have apologies from Senators McDowell and Martin. I ask all members and guests to put their phones into flight mode. Even if it does not appear to be the case at the time, a phone can interfere with the recording and the broadcasting off-site and so it is...
