We have talked about subsidised travel to offshore islands. I refer members to Programme C, at the bottom of the page, that has the headline "The number of people using subsidised travel services to offshore islands". It shows that in 2012 there were roughly 600,000 people but the number fell to 442,000, a figure that remained steady until 2014. Was that radical fall in one year due to a reduced service? Can a smaller number of people avail of the service?
