I have a note here. I will get more detail on this issue for the Deputy. However, I am told that the Department of Justice and Equality is the lead Department and we are feeding into its work. That applies to both the strategies we are talking about, namely, the CES and the NDIS. The Department of Justice and Equality is leading on the proposed European Accessibility Act. I will provide more details on what is actually happening there. It is somewhat subterranean, as far as I am concerned, but I will certainly get that.

The Deputy asked about the accessibility of new trains. All new services, including Bus Connects and Luas trams, will be accessible. Everything will be accessible. It is absolutely clear. In regard to retrofitting, the €28 million I have mentioned will all go towards retrofitting. It is ring-fenced for this purpose.
