Mr. Hugh Creegan:
It has only been open in the past three years. We see that running DART services for a number of years and the tunnel coming along afterwards. Most of the benefits from DART expansion come from the services. The tunnel itself, as a stand-alone project, had quite a poor benefit-to-cost ratio. It did not stack up as a stand-alone project. The benefits are from the other elements, such as the electrification of the Kildare and Maynooth lines and the services on them.
