Mr. Ray Hernan:

We are implementing a significant amount of change in terms of assessing costs, which have nothing to do with payroll. As I mentioned, we are looking at issues such as fleet utilisation and fuel-efficiency measures. In addition, all non-discretionary expenditure throughout the entire company is being assessed. If it is not necessary to allow us to run a bus, then we do not spend. This is a change in mindset as much as it is a cost focus. It has already happened. We implemented changes at the beginning of last week that are already driving material savings critical to the well-being of the organisation. We will continue to look under every stone. This is my absolute commitment. The more we save in non-payroll costs, the more we can lessen the impact of any proposed changes we may feel we have to implement and maximise the number of people employed in Bus Éireann.
