Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We want to have as much of the school transport provision tendered for by Bus Éireann with a reserve within Bus Éireann and we feel the best value for money comes from Bus Éireann procuring externally. It would be a different matter if Bus Éireann was to provide all the provision itself. It would be an arrangement of a different nature. It is not the arrangement we seek to have.
