I will ask some questions and then we will conclude because I am conscious Mr. Strachan has to make his way home. Dublin Bus used to have an app and Transport for Ireland now has the TFI Live app. I am not sure the TFI Live app is as intuitively wonderful as it might be. That is not a criticism because I know these things take time. There are about 30 stops on the route to the airport and it is hard to figure out which one you want. I hope there is a better way.

I am not sure we addressed staff shortages in the transport sector. How many staff work in the NTA? I do not believe anyone has ever asked that question. I know Mr. Strachan's allowance because I can google it and find it, but maybe Mr. Strachan will let us and the people watching this meeting what it is. To be fair, with all of Mr. Strachan's experience, if he was billing all the value the NTA and the State are getting, he could probably bill it in a week. I thank him for what he is doing based on all his other roles and qualifications. The State is getting great value for his expertise.

I ask Mr. Strachan to address staff shortages, staff numbers in the NTA, the app, his allowance and how he has found the transport user action group interaction so far. I know the group is quite new.
