Mr. Robert Morton:
At the moment the average age of the fleet is three years. That compares very favourably with 2011, for example, when the average age was 11 years. There has been tremendous investment in the fleet. This year we will spend €20 million on the fleet and equipment. The oldest vehicle on front-line duty is five years old but the average age of the fleet is three years.
