Ms Andrea Keane:

The reason, if you would let me explain, Chair, and bear with me, I am calling it a challenge is there are a number of things Dublin Bus is doing. As I said, for the first six months of this year we were delivering 97% of all services. That is just 1% off the target.

I fully accept it has deteriorated in the second half of this year and that is obviously something we are working at. I will tell the Chair what we are doing if he will bear with me.
