Mr. Tom Delaney:

There are three businesses in the Bus Éireann structure - PSO services, Expressway services and school services - and a wide range of properties across Ireland. Based on the amount of space used by schools at each property, be it in the yard, maintenance section or office, a split was done and a charge was arrived at with a view to what Bus Éireann or CIÉ would have got were those properties rented on the open market.
