Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

I will take this first and then perhaps Mr. Kent can come in.

The Department engages Bus Éireann to look at the applicants, their routes, and tendering. Bus Éireann has a transport infrastructure management expertise, which is why we work with it to do this. Within that, nearly 83% of what it does is on the basis of procuring out. Some 83% of the money we give it is procured out. Bus Éireann does that efficiently and it follows public procurement in doing that.
