Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

I agree, but until such time as we have the infrastructure in place to record the passenger survey numbers, I will not have an exact figure in that regard. However, I know how many people are eligible to benefit under the scheme and I know the services that CIE is required to deliver to those people.
