Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: SIPTU and NRBU (18 Jul 2018)

Mr. Stephen Hannan: I would have loved to have had this conversation with the NTA but unfortunately it was not to be. Deputy Troy put it elegantly.

Mr. John Murphy: I will not go over every point Mr. O'Leary addressed but I wish to comment on a few important issues raised by Deputies Troy and Murphy. We have said that we regard the consultation as key. SIPTU and the trade union movement generally have been calling for significant investment in public transport and all public services for years.
