Mr. Gerry Murphy:

It was awarded the contracts because it had the lowest cost. It met all the requirements, the qualification requirements in terms of the bus etc. and after that on the basis of the price. It won two competitions. I would not overemphasise this, these are two very modest services. We intervened because of the loss of service on the old N8 corridor. Our capacity currently to intervene around the country in respect of other losses is very limited because of funding but we intervened in that case because there was a definite demand that needed to be filled. It is a small bus and it serves the needs of the area.
