Perhaps I am not making myself clear or perhaps Ms Graham is misunderstanding me. I am talking about the licences that were issued through the NTA to take over from the public transport network. In certain cities there are three bus services - Bus Éireann and two private operators - leaving at the same time. There are three licences on that particular route. I am asking for a review of all the licences issued on all the routes but with particular focus on those Bus Éireann routes that have suffered a financial loss since those licences came into effect. I do not think that it is that complex. I want a review of all the licences on all those routes from the day we started issuing licences. The NTA knows all this anyway, and that is why I said I found it strange that it has never been published.
