Mr. Martin Nolan:

On the co-ordination front, ourselves and the NTA work very well on the public service obligation, PSO, side. When we get into the commercial market where there are other private operators, the NTA cannot share anything it is doing with us and we cannot share anything we are doing with it. We are into a different sort of ball game.

The community transport companies are doing very well. I note that there are a few former and current Bus Éireann people working with the community transport companies, so there is another area of communication there down the line. County Kerry is doing well all the way along the Wild Atlantic Way and is doing a bit better than middle Ireland. We have put new services into County Clare and various other places to support that and we are very conscious of it.
