Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2020
78. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that drivers (details supplied) are being asked to work hours in contravention of the road transport working time directive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27780/20]
View answerAs the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) monitors compliance with and enforces driver hours' legislation and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the RSA for attention. I have also forwarded the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann for direct reply.
I ask the Deputy to advise my private office if he does not receive a response within ten working days.
