Answer
Translink has advised it is currently assessing the equality impacts of its proposed savings through an ongoing Equality Impact Assessment consultation, including consideration of impacts across all Section 75 categories, such as age.
Translink has advised it will consider all consultation responses before reaching a final decision, including any evidence on the impact of the proposals on 16 to 23-year-olds and whether mitigation measures may be required.
