Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

The poor standard of service provided by Go-Ahead is a very significant issue and we can see that across the board. My colleagues here this morning have given their own accounts but, in truth, as my party's transport spokesperson, wherever Go-Ahead operates, I have heard of problems from Sinn Féin Deputies, Senators, councillors and local area representatives. It could be that the 184, 185, 45A, 238, L52, 115, 120, 33A or 33B - the list goes on. Anywhere it operates, there are these challenges. We know there are challenges but it is weasel words from the NTA that there are problems in the sector because there is a particular and pronounced problem with Go-Ahead. In my own area, the 270 is a connecting route from Dunboyne that people use as part of their journey to school, work and hospital appointments, and it lets them down time and again without warning. Go-Ahead must be held to account.
