I should preface my remarks by saying I might be the only person present who travelled on the Harcourt Street railway line as a young child. I saw it close. The State stated it would never be viable to have a train service to Dundrum and Bray. It subsequently bought the line back at significant cost for what is now the Luas service to St. Stephen's Green. Therefore, it is important that we plan for the future.

A report on rail services was recently published. Mr. Meade undoubtedly has it with him. Will he look at page 55 - "Summary route level P&Ls - 2015 AECOM" - as I have specific questions to ask?
