I thank the Deputy. We have made a lot of progress for those who are eligible under the scheme. The Deputy is raising the example of people who are not eligible, but in the forthcoming year those who are eligible have reduced charges of between €50 and €75 per student with a cap per family of €125. The Deputy raised a particular issue and specific location. I take it the students are not currently eligible for the scheme and, therefore, are paying fares to private bus operators. I will ask the Minister to come back to the Deputy with an estimated date for the publication of the review.
