I will just address Mr. Ray Hernan from Bus Éireann. I was not here for the other presentation. I thank Mr. Hernan for his presentation, which I found very interesting.

Why are there no structures within the organisation which offer the best outcomes? He said it does not have them. Why are the structures not in place?

Why are unions refusing to talk to Bus Éireann? I also want to ask Mr. Hernan about Deputy Jim Daly's suggestion of a €6 fee per travel pass holder and if he thinks it is a good idea considering the €8 million to €9 million owed? I completely agree with the idea of free travel for older passengers.
