Mr. Gerry Gannon:

Has the saving been wiped away? The saving is that the bottom line cost of the school transport scheme was reduced. In effect, the saving has paid for the sanctions. In other words, if the saving was not made and if the re-organisation of services was not achieved to the efficiency levels we reached, that €25 million would have added to the bottom line of the school transport scheme and one could be looking at a higher cost now.
