Ciarán Cannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 9:

In page 11, subsection (2), between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:

"(j) the fare system to be used.".

This seeks to ensure a consistency of approach between this Bill and the Dublin Transport Authority Act which includes a provision for the assessment of a fare system to be used during the licensing process. It is strange that in this Bill, every aspect of the operation of a route, from scheduling to routing to the quality of the buses and so on, is included in the licensing process but the details of the fare system to be used are omitted. As there may be a valid reason, I look forward to the Minister of State's response.
