Joan Collins
Question:371. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views that driver fatigue is the cause of one in five road accidents here; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Dublin Bus currently have scheduled driving rotas whereby bus drivers on route number 7 from Donnybrook and on route number 27 from Ringsend are driving for over five hours, and in some cases for over six hours, without a break, bearing in mind that a driver who transports live animals must take a break after 4.5 hours of driving under the Road Traffic Acts, yet Dublin Bus drivers are fatigued from driving for over 5.5 hours and up to six hours in some cases.
