Will Mr. Doocey revert to the committee with details of the names and number of operators that have had buses bought for them and operate on these routes? He might include details of the annual subsidies they received for both 2019 and 2020. The figure I have for the spend in 2019, although I am open to correction on this, was €75 million for the purchase of buses. Some of them may have gone to Dublin Bus or Bus Éireann, which are semi-State companies. The figure for 2020 was €65 million. Can the witnesses confirm those figures?
