It is one of the reasons the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Varadkar, and I will be talking. This is behind the motivation for doing so. What the Deputy mentioned is not uncommon. I will not talk about his specific route. Routes are for the operators to discuss with the NTA. On the broader issue, the Deputy is right and I will discuss it with the Minister, Deputy Varadkar. Private operators can also apply for free travel and some accept free travel passes.
