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 request raised by the Deputy in relation to providing a breakdown of the number of drivers hired on PSO services in each county since 2020, is an operational matter for Dublin Bus, Bus éireann and Go Ahead Ireland.
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.
