I nearly had to look behind me to see if there was somebody else there. The Minister's statement is compelling and there are a lot of good things in there. The one thing that strikes me is the cut of €127 million in school transport. That is something that would genuinely concern me. What is the basis for that reduction? Is it that things are done smarter or whatever? I am trying to get my head around it. It is quite significant in an area that we might say should require greater investment rather than a cut. That is my question.
