Dear Colleagues,

Tomorrow, the final of the IRB U19 Rugby World Championship will take place at Ravenhill between New Zealand and South Africa. While it is a shame Ireland didn’t get to the final we have scored a result as the official transport provider for the tournament.

Over the past 3 weeks we have been carrying all the teams to and from games and training. Not only has this been great business for us but it also has been very high profile and presents our brands, service and professionalism as top quality and reliable enough to deliver such a prestigious job.

So many thanks to all colleagues from the Tours business and bus depots across the network who provided a service we can all be proud of. It is also good news for Northern Ireland – a real sign that the place is now viewed as a fit and proper host of such international sporting events.

After this and the Ryder Cup – what possibly could our colleagues be working at next?

Philip O'Neill

Acting Chief Executive
