Officials from my Department met with a delegation from the Coach Tourism and Transport Council of Ireland (CTTC) in August 2016 for discussion on a range of issues, among which,  included items such as progress on a new approach to public service vehicle inspection, provision of coach parking facilities and proposed changes to driving hours and the Working Time Directive.

Since then I, have met the National Director of the CTTC on 28 December 2016, who following that meeting has written to me identifying issues of concern. I expect to respond shortly.

I have not had any meetings with private bus operators.
