- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion (29 Nov 2023)
Gerry Horkan: With regard to Dublin Bus's requests from the committee, it is more bus lanes, including dedicated and all-day bus lanes if we could call them that, and then from the NTA more funding to resource all of this.

Gerry Horkan: I see Deputy Lahart has arrived. We are due to finish in one minute. I do not have an awful lot of wriggle room, as the room has to be available for another committee quite shortly.
