I propose to take Questions Nos. 158 and 159 together.
The allocation of the annual Exchequer subvention between the group's subsidiary companies is a matter for the board of CIÉ. In 2003 the average subvention per passenger journey for Dublin Bus was 36 cent.
The operating subsidy for DART services was 70 cent in 2003. The figure involves an apportionment of costs and revenues between the DART and other suburban services.
