Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
There have been objections to the decision of the Minister to break CIE into its constituent elements, but it is long overdue. It should be recognised that Bus Éireann delivers quite a good service nationally in an area where there is competition and more competition will improve company. There is a definite need to take this course of action in relation to Dublin Bus, which provides a reasonable service, and there is no compelling argument against generating competition in this area. It would be very welcome if this could be done in relation to the rail network, but it would be more difficult because of the circumstances which obtain.
