- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (18 Jul 2018)
Imelda Munster: I sent an email to the committee asking for a change in the running order of today's business. I presume it is not deliberate, but according to the schedule we are first meeting the National Transport Authority, NTA, on its proposals for BusConnects, following which we will meet the unions.

Imelda Munster: I would like to raise another issue.

The reason given for this was the dispute between Ryanair and IALPA which was before the courts. The committee agreed to hold off on the issues on the...
