Ms Anne Graham:

It is not 100% like-for-like. There is a requirement in the contract that the operator must provide a certain level of pension. That is stipulated in the contract. When the service is retendered, the drivers currently operating the services will have a right to continue on if there is a change in operator. Pension benefits do not transfer, but all other benefits transfer to any other operator. All those costs will have been considered by the tenderer when it bid for the services, but certainly Go-Ahead is not required to carry out certain elements of the work done by Dublin Bus. We always take that into account in any like-for-like assessment.
