Does it not strike Mr. Doyle as incredible that the Department is not doing an analysis of transport services that exist, even if they are Bus Éireann services, to see if they are economically viable or socially necessary? The witness indicated the public service obligation, PSO, gives subvention to services when there is a social need but they are economically unviable. If the Department has not done the analysis, has Bus Éireann presented any analysis of the Expressway service in terms of viability?
