Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 October 2022
80. Deputy Verona Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the discussions that he is having with both the Road Safety Authority and Bus Éireann in regard to the current policy not to allow persons after the age of 70 years to drive a bus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48679/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, the day-to-day management and operational aspects of public transport are the responsibility of the individual operators - in this case, Bus Éireann.
Accordingly, I have forwarded 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.
