Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (24 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: What I am going to say is not targeted at the Minister of State directly or individually. The next comment is not for him.

Though I appreciate there are statutory limitations, we do know that there have been changes in...
