As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The issue raised by the deputy in relation to the number of bus drivers recruited by Bus Éireann in 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form, is an operational matter for Bus Éireann.

I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
