I will ask the following questions in the time remaining. The Government is trying to distance itself from the issue when, in reality, it has a huge influence on events. I wish to establish the level of contact Mr. Hernan has had with the Minister, Deputy Ross, since he assumed the position of acting CEO. I include in that e-mails, telephone calls, conversations and face-to-face meetings. Could he give us some indication of the level of contact between them?
I have two other questions and I will then conclude. I suggest that the cuts Mr. Hernan is making are costing Bus Éireann money. I will give a quick example.
