I will keep it to one minute. I thank the Chair. Can the witnesses tell us how many alternative sites are being considered and examined for the Glasnevin general station? Can they tell us to what extent the engineering issues, in terms of whether it is single or a twin tunnel, will impact the route and the moving of the stations? There are engineering issues in regard to the tunnel and the length of the stations, which I understand are, to some extent, negotiable. Can the witnesses outline the number of alternative routes that have been considered? None of that information has been made available to us and to enable us to understand the thinking behind this and the options for moving this proposal forward, it is important we are provided with this information.
