Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 23: David McRedmond, outgoing chief executive of An Post
Q: Would you be interested in roles such as board seats or advisory positions in other major organizations like DAA or RTÉ, given your experience?
He indicates openness to high-profile, non-executive roles that leverage his public-sector and transformation experience, while noting he's focused on private sector work but would consider impactful public roles; he would not pursue another executive role immediately but remains interested in meaningful contributions.
Ep 23: David McRedmond, outgoing chief executive of An Post
Q: What would you consider to be your greatest success in the role?
The greatest success is that An Post has become a growth company again, with significant parcel growth and profitability, driven by a clear strategy to offset mail declines through price increases and to invest in the parcel business as the main engine of growth.
Ep 19: Billy Hann, Dublin Bus chief executive - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
Q: What are the main challenges you face with electrification and maintaining reliability?
Electrification is complex; we have 196 charging points and 160 electric buses now, with plans to reach around 220 by end of 2026. The main issues are charging reliability and range on some routes, which we address with a cautious pace to protect service quality.
Ep 19: Billy Hann, Dublin Bus chief executive - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
Q: How do you describe the scale and composition of Dublin Bus in terms of fleet, routes, and people?
We operate close to 1,200 vehicles with around 4,500 staff (about 3,350 drivers), serving roughly 550,000 passengers a day across 130 routes, as part of a broader plan under Bus Connects.
Ep 19: Billy Hann, Dublin Bus chief executive - The Business Post Podcast with Daniel McConnell and Peter O'Dwyer
Q: What was your impression of Dublin Bus going in, and how did your background influence your approach?
I came from the Irish Aviation Authority with a business-to-business focus and saw Dublin Bus as a rare opportunity to operate in a direct business-to-customer environment, which required different leadership and engagement with staff and unions.
