PSO subvention, as I explained to the Deputy at the beginning, has gone up and will go up this year. It is not just an ambition; it is a fact. As long as I am Minister, it will continue to go up. I understand the Deputy's point of view perfectly and sympathise with much of what he says but he should not quote things to me that are factually incorrect.

I have not threatened anything in the rail network. I have not threatened to cut four lines, five lines or six lines.
