Ms Mary Considine:

The first question is around catering. My understanding is that the €2 million figure is what is covering existing services. If they were to be extended across the network, the figure would be significantly higher under the current operating model. The challenge is that they are being funded through the PSO by the National Transport Authority. As I said in my opening statement, we are looking at other options to see if we can do this in a cost-effective manner for the Exchequer. It has been outlined to this committee previously that the Exchequer is not willing to fund anything beyond that, so we need to find another way of providing catering.
