Something went wrong. I wish to start with the public service provision payments. Currently there is a lot of focus on what is happening in Bus Éireann and a lot of concern around the industrial relations issues, which I know Mr. Doyle cannot and will not comment on here today. However, I wish to establish the Department's role in terms of Bus Éireann. I also want to deal with the public service provision payments, which are under Mr. Doyle's Department's remit. My first question relates to the public service subvention for Bus Éireann. Does Mr. Doyle have the figures on the levels of subvention going back, say, over the past seven or eight years to hand? For example, would he have the figure for 2010 at his fingertips?
