Ms Anne Graham:

What we have been doing up to now, I suppose, is reacting to requests for changes to services from Irish Rail, particularly with regard to rail services, but also on the bus side. What we want to do this year is to look towards what we want in terms of a rail service in the immediate future, but also in the longer term, so that we do not make decisions now that will undermine what we might require in the medium term. That is the type of strategic review we want to do across all rail services. In terms of the reductions in service that have happened across the rail network recently, they have been quite limited and very carefully chosen to have the least impact. Most of the lines have suffered service losses; it is not just the Waterford line. It is in that way that we want to provide a bit more strategy in terms of what rail services we want.
