I will be brief. I welcome Mr. Moran. His experiences of being abroad are invaluable in terms of how we can get our system in place. What comes out in front of us is the loss of staff at the stations and the junctions. I see it raised locally at home and in Cobh. As Mr. Moran said, once the station becomes automated the man leaves the job but the man, or the woman, is still needed on-site because machines can break down. He makes a valid point in that regard. As the Chairman said, we had all the providers and the groups in but it would be no harm to have a case study done as well.
