Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 February 2017
139. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of private bus transport companies that have opted into the free travel scheme; if he will provide a list of those companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8915/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are currently 80 private operators participating in the free travel scheme and of this 60 are bus companies.
The information requested by the Deputy is detailed in the following table.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
