Written answers

Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 109, 115 and 124 together.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to composite Questions Nos. 78, 86 and 119 which I answered earlier, which sets out the position regarding the measures, including service changes, being taken by Bus Éireann to ensure its financial viability. It is a matter for Bus Éireann to decide on services and changes to services and I have no role in relation thereto.
