We want a detailed report from the Department on the free travel card, what information goes to the various operators and the NTA, how the payment is calculated and if it is based on a block grant. The figure for CIÉ is historically a block grant. Some of the newer companies are probably fully automated. The NTA operates a system through which some of the operators work. Those operators are licensed by the NTA so some of them are paid for exact numbers and some are paid on a sample basis because they do not have the technology. The Department should give a report to the committee.
