Mr. David Franks:

One of the key initiatives I have implemented since I joined Iarnród Éireann is to put a real focus on trying to collect the revenue due to us. We are currently recruiting an additional 20 revenue protection officers to support that activity. We are also doing a lot of things in the back office to try to simplify our revenue protection plans and increase our ability to collect money from people who have been issued with penalty fares. In the round, we are trying to raise an additional €1.5 million in this financial year from that activity.
