With due respect, it does not feel like it is based on the roll-out and delivery. The Minister has heard me compliment the services that are being delivered but they are below the targets the NTA set last year. For example, the Kentstown route was to be delivered last year. It was not. It was delivered this year and is welcome. It is the same for other services and in respect of the phased roll-out over five years. We do not have that. I raised this before with the Minister as a priority question. I refer to the challenge of multi-annual funding. There was €4 million last year and €8.35 million this year. What will the allocation be in 2024 and 2025? Do we have those figures? What is being allocated and how many services are going to be rolled out this year, next year and the year after that?
