Ms Anne Graham:

No. There is a difference because these are commercial services. All the costs and information associated with that decision and the responsibility for marketing the service rests with Bus Éireann. Our responsibility is to see what public service obligation to provide services should remain if there is a withdrawal of Bus Éireann's commercial services from Mayo. We would consider the Wild Atlantic Way and the towns that need to be served, not just for commuters but also for tourists and visitors to the area. It would be very important for the NTA, in looking at a redesign of those services, to get the best provision of services that we can for the funding we have available.
