Mind you, it's past time when we figured out the role of the likes of Bus Eireann. Does it exist primarily to provide services to the public or as a means to keep staff in well paid jobs?

Well said caller, I totally agree with you..

Nuttin, nuttin.

Should be an opt in/opt out system. If you want the pass you pay €2 per week and it's deducted from your SW payment at source, I.é. Before you get it.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/numbers-qualifying-for-free-travel-rising-every-year-1.2939398

It said that, as of July 2014, there were 799,672 people with a free travel pass. When passes for their spouses or companions – given to those who have difficulty travelling on their own – are included, this rises to “1.2 million people with free travel eligibility”.

The number availing of the scheme increased rapidly in the years leading up to the report. In 2007, excluding spousal and companion passes, 637,312 people received free travel. This rose every year until it hit just below 800,000 in July 2014.

Of those availing of free travel, 48 per cent are in receipt of the State pension, 21 per cent get a disability payment, 11 per cent get the widow’s pension and 7 per cent are carers. The remaining 13 per cent are classified as “others” by the report.
