Mr. Jeremy Ryan:
There will be less downtime. As the Chair knows, a peak bus fleet is required to service that demand, but the times we are looking at are the evenings where there is a bit more capacity and also inter-peak in the morning. That will require additional expenditure and additional drivers. We think we have the drivers to cater for that in Dublin. In Cork, it is still a challenge at the moment. We are being told by Bus Éireann that we can get that in August or early September, but we will have to confirm that with it at a later date when we hear more about driver numbers.
