I appreciate that very comprehensive answer. It is a pity that 2024 is not in play but we need it to happen as soon as possible. It would be a lot better if we were able to have those North South Ministerial Council transport meetings so that is something I would like to see resolved very quickly.

People had mentioned looking at new versions of ticketing. Post-pandemic, we are looking at remote working or partial remote working, so we have to look at the entire methodology in regard to how we ticket. People might not be going up five days a week and it might only be two or three days, and we need this to be reflected. While I accept the NTA has responsibility, my understanding was that Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and others had been in contact with the NTA. Is there any progress in regard to a ticketing service that will suit our new way of working, where, as I say, it would not necessarily be five days a week?
