Ms Anne Graham:

I cannot comment on how the company allocates the income it receives across the different services it provides. All I can say is that there was an open public tender associated with the provision of rural transport services in 2009. The price that was put forward by a company for the delivery of those services was accepted by Kerry Community Transport Limited at the time. The services in question are now under contract with the NTA. Under the similar process we will follow when we are re-tendering those services, we will receive a price. If it is an acceptable price, we will pay that price for the provision of the services in question. That is what public procurement is about.
