The Taoiseach raises important points in his responses in terms of interconnectivity and biodiversity, our inland waterways and the UK-Northern Ireland marine area as well. It is vital we take action on marine protected areas that covers all of the waters around our island, and in the area of transport. Investment in improving that interconnectivity through the Belfast-Dublin rail line is imperative as well in terms of reducing transport emissions. I see a number of opportunities there. Will the Taoiseach comment on the discussions he has had on the Belfast-Dublin rail line and improvements in that regard?
