Cormac Devlin: ...a route through Dublin all the way to Greystones. It is not as good as it once was. My question at the time was whether it was being explored to bring in another operator to fill the gap and how long it would be sustained.

Brian Stanley: ...the first three years but somebody living next door might have very low mileage. It is the same with taxis, some of which operate very locally.
