I welcome Mr. Murphy and his colleagues to the meeting. I will not dwell on all the meetings I have had with the authority during the year about the cessation of the bus route which served Abbeyleix, Durrow, Johnstown and Urlingford on the Dublin-Cork route and the reduction in the services on the Limerick route. This seems to be happening throughout the country. I thank Mr. Murphy for his assistance in that regard. The private bus service to replace the CIE service is still operating. However, it does not receive a subsidy so it must be in financial difficulty. It does not qualify for the public service obligation subsidy nor for funding for social welfare or travel pass customers. I hope the service will be able to continue and that people will use the service.

I have a few general questions. Is the authority subject to freedom of information?
