Questions (469)

Catherine Martin

Question:

469. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the way in which the subsidy for Dublin Bus is calculated; if it is based on the number of buses advertised that is intended to be run rather than the number of buses that are actually run; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
