At my request Bus Éireann has undertaken an examination of its company's systems and procedures for the management, operation and maintenance of its fleet and Bus Éireann has advised that its systems and procedures for its own fleet meet industry and international standards, and the requirements of the National Roadworthiness Test for goods vehicles and buses.

Separately, I have requested the Road Safety Authority to undertake a fundamental review of the arrangements for the compulsory periodic roadworthiness testing of goods vehicles and buses and this review is under way.
