Is there any way that Bus Éireann would be able to allow some of its hedged fuels to be used on those routes for school transport? There is a situation where Bus Éireann will run some of the routes. There are quite a lot of school bus services out of Limerick. The staff are excellent. We deal with them virtually daily. They are always trying to be accommodating. There might be a school bus that is driven by a Bus Éireann driver and yet a private bus could be running side-by-side covering neighbouring routes and one is much more exposed to fuel costs than the other. Is Bus Éireann is looking at some way to, say, share fuel supplies for that period?
