Marc MacSharry (Sligo-Leitrim, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

That leads to the next question. It is something we should look at because if one is dealing with one operator, there is only one set of management and vehicles to deal with and one maintenance and health and safety strategy and so on. It is an alternative to tendering each time and going in to see if Marc MacSharry, the bus operator in Sligo, has everything he needs from a safety and organisational perspective. While there would certainly be initial capital cost in making sure the fleet was appropriate to the demand, it would be worthy of examination. Is it safe to say the scheme is designed totally based on demand? We will see what is looked for next year and then we will put a series of tenders together that will deliver for those children.
