Will Mr. Meade send it to us because we want to build on Irish Rail's experience and how it perceives the needs identified and obviously how public funds should be used to meet them.

That is about as far as we can go. We have recommendations which came to us through the users' groups. The delegates probably have a copy of them. I hope that before we finalise our report, they will have sight of them. They can then make an input in order that when the document is published, it will make sense, have been costed and be irrefutable in meeting the needs of the organisations represented, people with disabilities and the general public. What is best practice in other countries? How do we benchmark against them? I do not expect the delegates to answer that question now, but perhaps they might come back to us on it.
