Almost all of them are. We have already thrashed this through parliamentary questions. It is almost all for the Ukrainian population. Therefore, there is in fact no increase. Ms Conduit is dead right, though. When it came to catering for the population that came from war-torn countries, buses were laid on with no issue. I accept that.

There is a huge issue, as Ms Conduit will well know, with how Bus Éireann continues to refuse to allow people aged over 70 years of age to drive buses. I have been speaking about that for ten years. I have been requesting a review of it for ten years. What has the Department done about this?
