- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implications of Brexit for Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: Many of the questions I had intended to ask have been covered. I was going to ask the Minister if he had planned to deal with a scenario where Britain would no longer be part of the Open Skies agreement. I listened to his response in which he said there should be an agreement between Ireland and the other member states, but is that as far as it has got, as it would have serious implications...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implications of Brexit for Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: That is what was being suggested, that there would be electronic solutions. Was that the crux of the battle? Was no other strenuous effort made to stress that it would be unacceptable to revert to customs posts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implications of Brexit for Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: To say that we would be happy enough if we have the latest technology to minimise delays rather than opposing its reinstatement, is a weak stance to take. If that is the angle we are coming from then God help us.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implications of Brexit for Transport, Tourism and Sport: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: The most constructive suggestion would be to call for special designated status for Ireland. That would have helped solve the problem of the reinstatement of customs posts rather than accepting the response that the Minister received.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Current Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: Of the review that the Minister will carry out and his engagement with all stakeholders. Regarding the review of the capital plan, the Minister spoke about providing an infrastructural roadmap for what the transport network will look like over the short and medium terms.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Current Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: That is not addressing the issue. Even if it is brought up to that level, in the first instance there should never have been a difference between the amount given to public transport and private operators. If it had not come to the fore during committee discussions, I suspect it would never have been changed. That does not address the fact that even if the amount is increased by a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Current Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: No, the Minister is just going to make things even. He will create a level playing pitch and correct a wrong that was done. He will not address the need for an increase in the subsidy for the public transport network.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Current Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (31 May 2017)
Imelda Munster: Expressway will receive a little bit more because the Minister is going to level the subsidy between private operators and the public transport network, but the Minister is not increasing the subsidy. All he is doing is levelling it out. Information came into the public domain to the effect that private operators were receiving more of a subsidy for the free travel pass than our public...
