I am supportive of Dublin Bus's efforts to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness under the Network Direct programme, entailing a redesign of their PSO bus network that is being implemented at present and which is due to be completed by mid 2011. However the details of the programme are a matter for the company itself in conjunction with the NTA under the terms of its PSO contract and do not require my approval.
