By the end of the capital plan it is intended that public transport and roads should be virtually in equilibrium. The relationship should be changed by 2022. It will be moving in the direction the Deputy suggests.
The Leap card is spectacularly successful. It is a fantastic achievement. I do not have the figures in front of me but there has been a massive increase in the past year. We should congratulate Iarnród Éireann on that. It gets a lot of stick for many things, probably quite rightly but the Leap card is extremely successful and consumers are very happy with it.
