I was being a little bit tongue-in-cheek with that because it looked like a line a Government might use around budget time - "We have reduced in order to simplify."

To get back to the point on towns and villages being bypassed, I understand the point of view of Bus Éireann, and perhaps this is a discussion that needs to be held with the Government. If I look at this not from Bus Éireann's point of view but from that of a representative of the taxpayer, it will cost the taxpayer an awful lot more if another vehicle must go into those towns and villages. I do not know how it can be resolved.
