I thank Mr. Hernan for his presentation. He has said connectivity will be maintained and that no passenger will be discommoded. In that context, he referred to the future plans of the company. I come from the Cavan-Monaghan area and the public transport service we have is vital. There has been a depot in Cavan for as long as I remember. I use the Expressway service. Two buses leave for Dublin at 7.30 a.m. I believe they come from Donegal and have to take the surplus in Kells to cope with the demand on the route. Mr. Hernan has said maintaining connectivity is a priority and that Bus Éireann will maintain it no matter what for rural Ireland. Will he, please, expand on that point?
