Ms Anne Graham:

I will start with the question of adequate resources in terms of the resources required to implement the redesign. The first cost is the additional operating cost of operating 22% additional vehicle kilometres. We hope we will get additional PSO budget to fund that. As our budgets are only prepared annually and we only get our PSO budget annually, we do not know whether it is available to us two years hence but we would expect that funding to be put in place. It is in the order of €30 million to €40 million additional PSO funding just to fund the operational costs associated with that increase. There will be additional resources through the capital funding to put in place the additional bus shelters and bus stops and any infrastructure required at the interchange points. That is already built into the BusConnects capital funding.
