If I may, I will address my initial questions to Mr. Meade. I want to know what element of cross-Border planning has gone into Iarnród Éireann's submission. I am particularly interested to know what the plans are for the Dublin-Belfast Enterprise service. Some of the questions I have relate to cost and the need for greater frequency. I want to know about the planning regarding cross-Border services and the possibility of having the speedier rail links we are talking about designing in the future.

We are now all into remote working and, therefore, even long-term commuters will be looking at the possibility of commuting two or three times per week. I believe they should still be able to avail of commuter-based pricing, be it for one month or six months, taking into account that they might be travelling only two or three days per week. Have the witnesses had any interaction on that possibility?
