Some routes in Cork city may be cancelled due to driver illnesses or shortages, and Bus Éireann is actively recruiting people to join the company.

Bus Éireann drivers are rostered at least four weeks in advance to allow for a standby list, which consists of a list of drivers who are available to cover shifts at short notice.
