Yes. This involves some 78 jobs, a potential loss of €30 million to the south west region and during a period of 18 months that service brought 150,000 passengers into the south west. I appreciate that the Taoiseach knows not only every highway but every byway in the south west because he is a regular traveller to the region. He will appreciate the importance of that service to the south west region.
