Mr. Jeremy Ryan:
In towns, it can be done quickly in a streamlined process. We have gone through well over 1,000 stops in Dublin, for example. In more rural areas, putting in bus stops is usually more difficult because there is not necessarily a hard standing and the local authority will want one, so it has to approve the hard standing’s design after it has approved the location in the first instance. That can all take significantly longer.
