-----on a daily basis and I am not going to be doing that. It is the job of the NTA, TII and others to identify and remedy the pinch points.

The Deputy is absolutely right that the longer trams were delayed but they will all be in operation by the end of May of this year. The Deputy is also absolutely right about the overcrowding issue. The overcrowding was very bad on the Luas for a certain amount of time. There were problems with the trams. Some trams had to be moved from the red line onto the green line to sort out the overcrowding and it has now been relieved enormously. There were also one or two technical problems which will be resolved shortly. The longer trams and the new timetables will be operational from 21 May, as far as I recall. It will all be in order at the end of May.

The plan to which the Deputy referred will be published at the end of this year.
