I listened with great interest to the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, in the Lower House yesterday. All of us accept that buses will form an important part of public transport in Dublin into the future but I do not have a notion of what is Government policy. In 1999-2000, the Government announced it would introduce a measure of flexibility, liberalisation and deregulation, but would put in place a regulator who would look after standards and ensure everybody got a service. In his contribution in the Lower House yesterday, the Minister did not seem to have a notion of his own policy. He actually used the phrase at one stage that "it was all terribly confusing". His announced policy is to franchise out 25% of the existing routes. We do not know whether he will make Dublin Bus buses available to a private user.
