Right. I have two questions for the hauliers and the bus men. Some companies did deals for a surcharge, as we called it in building years ago. There was something called a surcharge which clicked in over a certain level. Some companies have done it at €1.30 at the moment. Would it not be a simpler solution that we would have a system where there is a level playing field across the board where it clicks in automatically for bus men, lorry men or whoever rather than, say, the NTA giving a few quid extra for the Local Link or something different everywhere else?
