I thank the witnesses for attending. I apologise for missing the presentation. I am concerned, as the amount of money being lost is staggering. Have lessons been learned from how the company got into difficulty? Has anyone taken responsibility and how can we be sure this will not happen again?

The disused and dismantled railway lines that are still in the ownership of CIE are useful national resources, given the possible development of greenways. What is CIE doing to ensure these lines are retained in its ownership without facing challenges from squatters or anyone else? Is any location experiencing difficulties in this regard and how does CIE intended to address them?
