Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I ask the workers of Dublin Bus to be aware of the consequences of their actions. A small number of people are taking actions which have a disastrous impact on their customers. It is their responsibility to come to their senses. However, a similar responsibility rests with the Government. Just as some workers in Dublin Bus lack a sense of responsibility for the impact their actions are having on commuters, the vision is missing on how we can deliver integrated public transport in the city. We have Luas lines that do not link up, ticketing which is not integrated and a bus service that depends on one provider. Nothing illustrates more clearly the need for a proper debate on how public transport can be developed in the country and, in particular, the city of Dublin.
