I thank the representatives for their opening statements. Could I deal with the staffing issue concerning Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland? Since the last time the representatives were here to discuss this matter, there has been significant progress. That is welcome. How many drivers does Go-Ahead Ireland need to meet its current contracted routes? Does it have a figure for the end of 2023? I am conscious of the potential consequences of an enduring shortage. How many drivers are employed? Some indication has been given as to what the recruitment process entails. Mr. Edwards has flagged some pinch points. I would like the Dublin Bus representatives to answer the same questions.
