I propose to take Questions Nos. 125, 131 and 132 together.
The national development plan provides for the purchase by Bus Átha Cliath of 275 additional buses and 500 replacement buses between 2000 and 2006. Since 2000, the company has purchased 460 new buses, 93 of which are additions to the fleet and all of which are low floor and wheelchair accessible. The new buses, which are in operation, have improved the quality and reliability of the fleet and have provided for increased capacity and frequency of services. The deployment of the buses, which have been funded under the national development plan from a combination of Exchequer grants and CIE resources, is an operational matter for Bus Átha Cliath. The company has ordered 50 new buses for delivery in 2005, but it has not yet made a final decision on the total number of buses to be purchased between 2005 and 2007. Accordingly, it has not finalised its peak hour passenger forecasts.
