Mr. J.J. Kavanagh:

That has not been a major point of discussion up to now. The Coach Tourism and Transport Council of Ireland meets the National Transport Authority, NTA, monthly, and the authority understands the issue. It has been addressed where direct contracts apply or in respect of the rural links and so on, where an adjustment is being made. On the school side, there is no adjustment. In the case of private hire, obviously, operators adjust the price they charge under the contract or negotiations can be entered into. On the school side, it is particularly difficult.
