- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects Bus Corridors Project: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: I will do it in two sentences. The money that accrues to Bus Éireann, for example from bus fares, goes back to the State coffers. That is what happens to any profit or surplus.

As has been mentioned, we have seen people having to campaign for Orkambi and Spinraza and now from pembro. It is unfortunate that the Minister is not...
