In terms of the service, obviously, we have reduced train lines. I know there are issues with the train carriages. It looks like we are not going to get the new carriages until quarter 2 of 2027 at the earliest. We should look, if we can, at leasing rolling stock to try to supplement the train carriages we have. We need to look at everything we can do because the demand is there on all lines. The fact that we do not have new carriages means we cannot cascade the other carriages onto all of the other lines in the country. We need to look at what we can do. We are expecting a growth in numbers over the next couple of years but we simply do not have the buses and train carriages to meet that demand. Despite this, we are putting over €208 million into the PSO levy without additional infrastructure.
