Yes, but for profit, not as a service. There is a massive difference between the two. For example, public service providers serve the least profitable routes because they provide a public service. Mr. Traynor said the private operators need to be funded by the State. How does he propose that be done? Does he propose tax increases to pay for it? Does he propose to borrow or to cut existing public services? How could this be done?
