Questions (68)

Bríd Smith

Question:

68. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport if he or his officials have been briefed on industrial relations issues at a company (details supplied) and proposed industrial action at the company; if he has any proposals to ensure disputes at the company do not arise as a result of lower levels of pay or conditions being imposed on drivers as a result of the way the NTA awards routes under the competitive tendering system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10459/23]

Written answers

Minister for Transport

As 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 issue of industrial relations at Go-Ahead Ireland is a matter for the company itself and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to Go-Ahead Ireland for direct reply. 

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
