I will ask my questions all together and then the delegation can answer them.

With regard to the targeting of the workers, is management going to receive a 30% pay cut? Will its allowances be cut, as with the workers? Since this affects the public purse, what is the salary of the CEO by comparison with the average salary of a bus driver of 20 years? Somebody asked about the details of the recent severance packages. Since public money is involved, information should be put into the public domain. Will the delegates put it into the public domain?

Bus Éireann recently hired HR consultants. What did this cost? What were the terms of reference of the consultants' contracts? What is the general expenditure on HR consultants right across the entire CIE group?
