Proposals for the provision of public bus services by private bus operators on specific routes to serve particular areas is an operational matter for the companies themselves. In accordance with the Road Transport Act, 1932, as amended, such operators apply to my Department for licences to operate scheduled bus passenger services within the State. It is a prerequisite to the granting of a licence that the approval of the Garda Síochána is obtained in relation to the position of all bus stops on and along the route. The most recent amendments to the licence held by the company mentioned by the Deputy were made on 26th October 2006.
