    Both.

    Is this a chauffeur I see (ministers have garda drivers)? http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/images/2010/0420/1224268699721_1.jpg

    As far as I know John Lynch has the use of two official cars.

    You've got to be joking! What's the second car for, his pyjamas and his banana?

    Can anyone tell us what this man contributes to our state transport services, other than presiding over a costly, inefficient and outdated mess?

    Well I can't.:D

    When he was first appointed, he didn't do interviews or make public appearances. That was when CIE were engaged in the early stages of investment. Once all the new buses and trains started to appear, he'd turn up to the opening of a train/bus door.

    CIE as an entity is a waste of time and money alright.
