Mr. Aidan Murphy:

We do not have a gender pay gap issue since we have specific remuneration for positions regardless of the employee who fills them. We have not undertaken a specific review but I can confirm there are no gender pay gap issues in the company.

Mr. Allen referred to the property issue. The properties are managed by CIE centrally and there is a property manager. The policy is to maximise the potential of any surplus property. Any properties that are identified as being required currently or which may be required are retained and every opportunity is taken to realise the value of everything else whether through outright sale or, more preferably, by establishing an ongoing revenue stream from the properties. There have been some very innovative deals done by the property manager in that regard.

With regard to Expressway, I have mentioned the competition issue and we are dealing with it head-on. Our biggest hub is Dublin Airport because the majority of our Expressway services either originate there or it is their destination. It is a major hub for us and we are looking at opportunities around that. We have Busáras, which is a central city location, and Parnell Place in Cork. We also have hubs in the rail stations in Limerick and Galway. That is the structure of the Expressway network.
