I wish to raise one final issue that needs to be debated. People are aware that Dublin Bus operates an exact fare, no change policy under which one hands over, say, €2 and instead of change a little chit is given that can be redeemed at a later stage.

We need a debate in the House on how public and private organisations use such moneys that come into their possession but to which they have no entitlement. It was laughable to hear Dublin Bus's excuse for not at least dispersing the amount——
