Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 March 2026
58. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding bereavement days in the event of deaths of immediate family members for employees of a semi state bus company (details supplied); if any consideration has been afforded to extending the number of days allocated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17422/26]
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 queries raised by the Deputy are operational matters for individual operators themselves.
Efforts were made to determine which company the Deputy is referring to, as no details were supplied, however in the absence of response, I have referred the Deputy's question to the two semi-State bus companies, Bus Átha Cliath and Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
