asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if, in view of the fact that large replacements of buses and passenger railway coaches must shortly be undertaken by Córas Iompair Éireann, he will state whether he will take steps to see that alterations are required in the existing types of buses and coaches so as to improve the comfort and convenience of the travelling public.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Design of Buses and Railway Coaches.
This is a matter for the management of Córas Iompair Éireann. I am advised, however, that the company is giving special attention to vehicle improvements for the greater comfort and convenience of passengers.
