I have one question in relation to emissions. What alternative fuel strategies are Bus Éireann considering for rural bus transport? For the NTA, what is the timeline for moving towards hydrogen or HVO? Will it be learning lessons from Athlone? What are the long-term plans for electrifying the rural bus fleets? The CCTC representatives mentioned making HVO adoption feasible. What supports or incentives could be put in place to ensure there is a more rapid transition?
