Ms Bernie McNally:

I will ask Ms Conduit to come in on that. I assure the Deputy that we give Bus Éireann the amount of money that is deemed appropriate. Sometimes, there is a prepayment. It is an agreement that we prepay it but we look at the funding on a monthly basis and there is a very strong forensic process. It only gets the costs that it has incurred, and the Deputy knows that it operates on a cost-recovery basis only.
