Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Transport (19 Jan 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It can be phrased both ways as a burden and an opportunity, which it certainly is. There is an administrative burden and many people are being asked to do a lot of extra work.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the witnesses, both for the opening statements and the testimony. I will pick up on the last point first, that is, the idea of human rights.
