Cabinet Committees
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-17
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

When the pandemic raged, bus drivers kept society on the move, risking their health day after day as key front-line workers. How are they being repaid? They are being repaid with a kick in the teeth. Bus Éireann is threatening to freeze their wages, not just for 2022 but for next year as well. While prices continually increase, this represents a massive pay cut. What does the Taoiseach say about this situation? Does he think this is what the drivers deserve? I would like to hear his views on it.
