    And there was me thinking they wouldn't go raising more points of difference between them and the Labour Party.

    This is indeed quite encouraging. Mind you, Seamus Brennan's experience shows that you can have all the guts and bright ideas needed, but if the Cabinet can't stomach a bus strike lasting months, you might as well not bother.

    Sounds like six months of strikes to me and a fortune lost to the economy Had a look at it,--- doesnt explain clearly how she'd go about it no significant cost :--- .It costs abot 600,000 a km to build a qbc lane changes, light sequencing, changing traffic flow.
    Liberalising the bus market --labour and Rabbitte will love that --race to the bottom- improvements in London .
    How the***** can she compare buses in london to dublin.
    Ever lived there the bus system is fairly similar to our own-- crap and timetables are all over the place with rival companies deliberately slowing up each others buses on the qbcs there.
    More policies like that is what FG need nothing new or refreshing.
    Appoint a regulator when she want to liberalise -i dunno
    I just dunno No wonder FG have never been ELECTED as a government since 1983.

    That's a contradiction. No wonder, as FF have been running the education system for 18 of the last 20 years.

    Some of the regulators in this country do more damage than the warring factions they are suppost to regulate.
