Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 April 2015
19. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has carried out any review with Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus to develop projections of the amount by which the Government subsidy to Corás Iompair Éireann will be cut, following the privatisation of a portion of public service obligation routes in the future.

View answerI refer the Deputy to my reply to Priority Question No. 1 which I answered earlier.
Both bus companies will be able to submit proposals under the procurement process. Regardless of whether they are successful in the procurement process, they have much to gain from forecast growth in the PSO bus market which will benefit revenue growth and employment in the companies.
