View answer304 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for Transport the reason in view of his role in ensuring safe public transport he has not published any report into the causes of the Wellington Quay bus crash of 2004; the assurances he can give to the travelling public that the causes of that crash have been addressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13929/08]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 303 and 304 together.
The day to day operation of bus services is a matter for the bus companies concerned and the investigation of road traffic accidents and the prosecution of court cases arising therefrom, including in relation any breaches of the Road Traffic Acts, is a matter for the Garda Síochána. I understand that Dublin Bus has co-operated fully with the Gardaí in this regard.
I have not received any internal Dublin Bus report into the accident referred to.
