To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will explain the ambiguity between his statement of 24 July regarding the €36 million cash injection to CIE in which he said it was for CIE to remain adequately funded for the immediate future so it can continue to provide a sufficient service to the travelling public with your most recent statement in which you appear to be setting preconditions in advance of providing the funding; if he will give an assurance to the six thousand bus workers in CIE who's earnings match that of the average industrial wage that his policy or intervention will not contribute to the undermining of their ability to continue to provide for their families at a time when the reduction in subvention, rising fuel costs and falling passenger numbers has served to have a severe financial impact on the company.
