As 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 question raised by the deputy in relation to how many drivers are needed to reach a full complement; and how many mechanics are needed to reach a full complement, are operational matters for both Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus respectively.

I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the companies for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
