I am informed by Dublin Bus that as of 8 December 2006 it had taken delivery of 80 of the 100 additional buses for which I announced funding 28 September 2006. The remainder are due to be delivered by the end of January 2007. I also understand from Dublin Bus that these buses will begin to be introduced into service in the coming weeks and that they will be phased in over a period of six months following commissioning trials.
