Another aspect is that Go-Ahead has some of the bus routes and that information will be transferred through it. My understanding is there is a different type of arrangement with Go-Ahead, in that the fares go directly to the NTA rather than to Go-Ahead, and that its contract is just to drive the buses. The NTA has a direct aspect on this. It is a tripartite arrangement instead of the direct relationship between Irish Rail and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. It is going three ways.
