May I have a point of clarity? In answer to Deputy Ryan, the NTA gave a timeline for the review. We are looking at a review at the end of 2020 which will then take two or three years. In fact, there would be no change if we were to stick to that timeline because it will be four years along and contracts will have been entered into. If it is to go further to the west or down to UCD, we have to take action now.

I am open to this. I would like to see the modelling to see whether it would be best to go west or out to UCD. I would respond to what the Taoiseach said yesterday by emphasising that we need to see the modelling. A political decision should be made to ask the NTA to do the modelling now.
