I am aware that in instances around the country, there are examples of those who received concessionary passes for the bus in the past and who have not received them this year. I am also aware that throughout the country, there are those who received concessionary passes last year and in previous years and who have received them again this year. As I have said there has been a one third increase in those concessionaries. I have made it clear to the Deputy that we will see what we can do in the context of this budget for those particular cohorts who find themselves outside the system.
