Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 December 2021
178. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Transport the reason prison records of ex-prisoners that come under the Good Friday Agreement are being used to refuse employment by Bus Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [61136/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I am responsible for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in day-to-day operational matters.
This is an operational matter and responsibility for the qualifying criteria of employment rests with Bus Éireann. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
