Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2006
121 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some Dublin Bus drivers are claiming that they are pressurised to work six hours straight, which is in direct contravention to the law that stipulates that they should work no longer than four and a half hours; and if he will make inquiries on the matter. [9164/06]
View answerThe terms and conditions of employment of bus drivers is a matter for Dublin Bus. These drivers are not covered by the EU regulation on drivers hours or by the EU directive on the organisation of working time of persons performing mobile road transport activities because they are operating on a regular passenger service within a 50 km radius. I will, however, bring the matter to the attention of Dublin Bus.
