End confusion on bus plans, FG tells Brennan

FINE GAEL called on Transport Minister Seamus Brennan yesterday to end the confusion and publish all his proposals for bringing competition into the Dublin bus market.

Bus and rail unions abandoned plans for six days of strikes after they secured what they claimed was a climbdown from Mr Brennan on his bid to privatise a quarter of Dublin Bus.

National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) leader Liam Tobin said: “Any plans for downsizing Dublin Bus are now gone and there will be no downsizing of Dublin Bus, which will be allowed expand with the growing transport market.”
