The notion that the private operator would pay average costs while IE pays the difference is interesting, but given the argument over community rating in the health sector the government must do a better job of managing the new entrant vs the relative gorilla that is CIE. Were a private operator to be able to apply for a relatively lucrative route by revenue but pay lower costs than IE itself would pay, this could destabilise IE finances.
