I will switch to a slightly different subject. I am very aware that a commuter in Dublin pays a fraction of the cost many commuters in other parts of the country pay for a journey of the same distance. On the NTA's national fare strategy, are there efforts towards a greater degree of equalisation of fares, particularly for rural bus services and bus services going into our regional towns and cities? I know in some of these areas the bus services are not PSO and are done by our commercial colleagues. Will the fare strategy be able to take steps to start equalising that quite different and significantly more expensive situation commuters outside of Dublin often face?
