Mr. Gerry Murphy:

In 2013, our target is to examine the reconfiguration of some of these local and orbital services and to consider the areas of demand. We have very significant and unique tools within our organisation and have a transport model for the region that goes into incredible detail. We can look at projected passenger demand or at the census returns and have conducted a national household travel survey to pick up travel demands, other than going to work and to education. Consequently, this year we are undertaking a project to examine local and orbital services in Dublin to ascertain what reconfiguration is needed and what is being unmet. The constraint is whether we can manage to do it within the available subsidy and passenger revenues and that will be the challenge. Rather than defining the service, the challenge is to provide the service.
