I will provide the Deputy with the details. I can give her some of the details of the DART expansion outline programme, but she is looking for a great amount of detail which will have to be obtained from the NTA. I cannot give her the details of the amounts of money provided, but I can give her a summary of the programme. In the second quarter of this year there will be the appointment of a specialist advisory team for fleet acquisition. In the fourth quarter there will be the commencement of a diesel electric fleet tender competition. There will be the award of a contract for a new diesel electric fleet in the third and fourth quarters of next year and there will be the commencement of the delivery of the new fleet in 2022.
