It is imminent. I do not have the exact timeline but I got a presentation on it a number of weeks ago and expect to be able to bring it to fruition quickly.
I want to mark one thing. We are an outlier in the dramatic increase in use, which is partly due to the reductions in transport fares of 20% generally and 50% for those aged under 24. Dublin Bus passenger numbers are 10% above pre-Covid levels. Outside the capital, public transport numbers are up 31% on pre-Covid levels. This is an unprecedented increase and has not happened in other countries.
