Bus Éireann and transport minister
The Leader defended the Transport Minister, said there was already a mechanism for engagement at Bus Éireann, and argued that the Government was committed to public transport.
We are interested in what he is not doing.
Comment on this
I am just making the point. To be fair to the Minister, in the case of Bus Éireann, last night in the Dáil he referred to the creation by Seán Lemass of the mechanisms of State that trade unionists want to see being used and remain in place. If they do not work, the Minister should be allowed to intervene, if necessary. I think the Labour Party, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil must have undertaken opinion polls on the Minister. Perhaps that explains the fixation with him in some quarters. He has become the new bogeyman of the Government. Senator Michael McDowell also has him in his sights.
