There is no delay in clearing notifications where there is no conflict. In cases where there is a prior licence application, the Department quickly advises Dublin Bus that the decision is being deferred until the application has been processed. In the past 12 months the Department received a total of 62 notifications from Dublin Bus. Of these, 55 were noted and the company was advised it could proceed with the proposed service changes. Five were deferred due to prior licence applications, one is currently being processed and one has been returned to the company as incomplete. I do not have information regarding the routes referred to by the Senator.
