We have had a very important discussion today and I thank our witnesses for their knowledge and giving us their time. I have questions, mainly in relation to unmanned Dart stations and so on. I appreciate the point about the new dedicated hub, where one can telephone a number when one is within two stops of a station and seek assistance. The Irish Rail submission says the number of partially accessible stations is 26; I do not know if that means manned or otherwise. How many unmanned stations are there and does Irish Rail plan to increase that number?
