Mr. Michael Culhane:

As at the end of June, the fleet was 2,466 vehicles. That was composed, in terms of categories, as follows: cars, 1,730; vans, 393; motorcycles, 153; four-by-fours, 103; and other, 87, which includes trucks. At the end of December 2013 and 2012, purely for comparative purposes, the fleet was 2,407 and 2,414, respectively. One can see that, over that two and a half year period, the fleet is remaining at approximately 2,400 vehicles. In terms of the age of the fleet, currently, 75% of the fleet is over two years old. Of that, 66% is over four years old.
