Ms Anne Graham:

As I indicated earlier, we will look with Iarnród Éireann at the type of service that is being provided. There is no doubt that it has been de-manning stations on the basis of the infrastructure available, such as ticketing and other aspects of its services which did not necessarily require somebody to be available for a full length of service. We know that as a result of that, there are issues when someone who needs assistance wants to travel. That is why the 24 hour notice is required. There is a trade-off between notice required and the level of service that is available and the cost associated with the level of service of having a manned station. It is something that we will work with Iarnród Éireann to establish the best level of service where passengers need assistance.
