Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
110. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Transport the recruitment and retention plans for mechanics, the lack of which is contributing to the crisis in respect of bus services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24602/24]
View answerAs 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 query raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, and Go-Ahead. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the companies for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
