They are against it because it would expose the cost base that the taxpayer has to subsidise in Dublin Bus because of the wages and T&C's that they have negotiated for their members. This is an indictment of management and government, not the unions.Competition works and maybe the trade union movement can explain why they are so against companies coming in and creating jobs.
The Irish trade union movement is to government in Ireland what the Imams are to government in Iran.

I'm delighted that the Government after years of dithering have finally seen sense. Dublin Bus give a very good service but fares should be subsidised more and a congestion charge brought in. Let's cut down on the number of Cars in the city centre.
Go to Liverpool for example and see how fares increased, you cant hop on and off any bus and health and safety on the buses has gone out the window -hey yes sure that's competition, let's bring it on!
From those comments it seems he was making the decisions.Where was he during the benchmark process??

I would go one further and suggest that some other government should regulate it. We should strive to 'outsource' the public service in this manner, as much as possible.Once again I will make the point; the government should regulate, not run.
