I thank Mr. Meade for his submission. Several Deputies have spoken recently about the train station at Castlerea. Will Mr. Meade ensure refurbishment works are carried out in order that it is presentable and attractive to those who use it? Some train stations are not being maintained very well.

Mr. Meade spoke about high-speed trains.

Will 100 km/h be the maximum speed on the high-speed trains? When will that be achieved? As Deputy McLoughlin stated, people have to stand when using the train. Additional carriages are needed. When will that be provided for the Sligo, Westport and Galway trains?

I welcome Iarnród Éireann's announcement on more services. I have been raising that issue for a long time.

I have another question on which I ask Mr. Meade to be clear in his answer. Has the western rail corridor review, which Iarnród Éireann is supposed to be doing, commenced, and when will it be finished?
