Can I go back in time? It is an unusual situation to have four chairperson designates, with the chairperson of the group and the operating companies, namely, Bus Éireann, Irish Rail and Dublin Bus. What is the structure? How does the company structure work? What is the interaction between the CIÉ board and the others? There are a relatively small number of employees in CIÉ, with a little over 100. Then Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Irish Rail have large-scale employment. Between them they employ over 10,000 people. How does the structure work? How does Ms Ross find it works? It would be interesting to know in that context. I have a few operational questions for the other three chair designates.
