In a small number of instances - it concerns just over 600 people who are eligible - Bus Éireann is currently seeking to find buses, bus drivers or whatever the case might be. They will be provided with bus transport if they have applied on time and they are eligible. It is important to say that in some areas there are constraints in the same way that we have seen in other sectors which are finding particular challenges in terms of staffing, whether in business, hospitality and so on. Bus Éireann is not immune to those challenges. I assure Senator O'Reilly that that limited number who are eligible and who have not yet received transport will receive transport if they are eligible and have registered on time.
