Amharc ar fhreagraIt remains my intention to establish an independent public transport procurement and regulatory body in the context of public transport reform.
As I have indicated previously, I am reviewing the developments which have taken place during talks between officials of my Department and the CIE unions and the technical work which has been undertaken by my Department on the reform programme. I am also consulting with key stakeholders.
When I have completed that review and my consultations, I will consider how best to proceed to give effect to the Government commitment to reform public transport.
