I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee and answering all our questions. I might ask, if it is in order, either when the transcript becomes available or before, for a summary of the key points. That might include any actions we need to take or suggestions on what we need to do in order to help us clarify matters. We will have the Minister, Bus Éireann, CIÉ and Irish Rail before us for the next step in this process. We need practical solutions to address the huge congestion that is building up.

Last Friday was the closing date for the submissions on MetroLink. Our committee, at the request of Deputy Rock, visited Na Fianna and was very impressed by the huge community out there and acknowledged how much it would be disadvantaged if MetroLink were to be built through that location.
