It was €45 million in 2010 and it was €36 million in 2015. The difference might be even greater when increased costs and inflation are factored in. My point is that there has been a significant cut in the Bus Éireann subvention since 2010. Obviously, there has been a slight increase in recent years, but there is still a substantial difference between the 2010 figure and the 2015 figure. Is that correct?
