Should there be a certain percentage to make sure that competition will be retained? As I see it, we are heading towards an awful lot of private buses. There will be private buses and they will be there but we are losing a lot of Bus Éireann, or what we would call CIE buses down the country. Do we not need to make sure that a certain threshold of buses are kept in all parts of the country to make sure there is always competition there?
