Will Mr. Hernan forward the information on the investment made in the past ten years in that depot? It is a busy bus station with a great deal of through traffic and many people depend on it. As we do not have a rail service, one can imagine how important it is for those of us who live in rural Ireland.

My final question relates to rural school transport which, obviously, is singularly important. In 2011 there were 47,000 eligible students, but by 2016 the number was down to 28,000. Can Bus Éireann explain the major decrease in numbers?
