    4. 11 October 2026 Check started Worker B, attempt 1: blocked on source. TVM News (9 Jan 2025) reports the 8,144 grants and over EUR 69 million for the last three years only as indirect speech (no quotation marks); Newsbook and a later TVM piece give nearly 9,000 grants and nearly EUR 70 million for 2022-2024, so the figures differ between reports. The Transport Malta page and press release are unreachable to scripts (403) and Wayback reset. Needed: the Transport Malta statement text (January 2025).
