Ruth Coppinger: Bus Éireann underbid Go-Ahead by €3 million but Go-Ahead was still given the contract, so it seems to be a rigged system.

Bus Éireann is expected to show a profit despite all the challenges of the NTA...

Ruth Coppinger: I will start off be alluding to the meeting of pro-choice doctors that took place in Limerick last night that was harassed and hounded and had to change venue.
