As I advised the Deputy in my previous reply of 24th February 2009, the company to which the Deputy refers was advised on 16th January of the terms on which a licence could be granted in respect of the operation of the services in question. The Company appealed that decision and in that context submitted proposals for significant changes to their proposed service. That submission has been considered by my Department and new terms on which a licence could be granted were presented to the company on 26th May 2009. A response is now awaited. In the event that the offer is not accepted, an application from another operator to operate a similar service on the route will then be considered
