Mr. Murphy mentioned an involvement between rural transport services and school transport. What liaison has taken place between Bus Éireann and private operators?

Is there room for rural transport services to get involved in that? Also, what is the percentage of private operators in the provision of rural bus services? What percentage of the vehicles do the rural bus companies own? Has the service been rolled out at this stage to every corner of the country or are there gaps in the provision of this rural transport service?
