In the event that the Luas makes a "loss", how much profit will Veoila have made?

Also, will the accumulated profits (i.e. the future fund to pay for maintenance) be raided if the Luas makes a "loss".

I'd love to know how much margin Veolia are making from the hidden contract with the RPA and if the RPA can adjust it downward in order to ensure value for the cutomers, i.e. they don't make the shortfall with steep fare hikes.
