I apologise that we had to step out for a vote. My question follows on from what Senator Marie Louise O'Donnell has spoken about with regard to efficiencies. Mr. Hernan has stated that his priority is the service user - which, absolutely, is a priority for everybody - and that the plan is to ensure that there are more services within the existing subvention. He has spoken a little about efficiencies and the need for increased funding from whatever source. I am a little confused regarding his plans for more services within the confines of the existing subvention. Will he expand further on this? He emphasised the fact that there is no point in giving more money when we cannot see better efficiencies. However, I get a strong sense from the presentation and the questions that we have a problem with regard to structures and efficiencies in Bus Éireann. I want Mr. Hernan to lay out clearly what will change to create more services within the existing subvention.
