I sympathise with what the Deputy says about seeing these kinds of anomalies. As a human being and as an objective observer, I understand what he is saying. There seem to be difficulties sometimes. The Deputy should not tell me stop hiding behind EU regulation. It is the law. We must, sometimes unfortunately, abide by the law when it seems extremely inconvenient. I see the problem with only three passengers paying. The Deputy is talking about people benefiting from the free travel, is that correct?
