December 9, 2025
Five bus companies are claiming over €59 million from the government for the period 2010-2020 due to disagreements about government contributions. The Department of Road Transport (TOM) faces issues in estimating its revenues, with significant discrepancies found between two accounting systems. According to the Audit Office's report, TOM's controls have been insufficient. The legal cases are still in the early stages. There is uncertainty regarding TOM's total liabilities to the bus operators.
