Private bus operators in Dublin

Summary

Asked about licensed carriers and pending applications, the Minister undertook to provide the information and said applications were governed by the antiquated 1932 Act, which was under review.

Jim Mitchell Mr. J. Mitchell Fine Gael

Are there any licensed carriers within the Dublin area? Are there any applications before the Minister for private bus operations in the Dublin area?

I am afraid that I cannot answer the Deputy off the top of my head. I do not have that information here but I will get it for the Deputy.

That is part of the question. Why does the Minister not come in properly briefed?

I have a proper brief and I thought I gave a fairly full answer. As the Deputy knows, the basic Act is the 1932 Act. Any applications that are made will be decided upon in the light of that Act. We regard that Act as antiquated now. We have done a full survey of the Act and legislation is pending.
