Will the Minister explain the business case to the people who are watching these proceedings? In 2011, we were in the midst of economic hardship. MetroLink was paused at that time. In 2015, it was brought back onto the table and, in 2018, it was committed to. My understanding is that for the first time in the history of metro north, as it was known, it was tested against other solutions, including a DART spur from Clongriffin, a hard rail solution, a high-frequency bus service or light rail. MetroLink came out on top and was committed to as the best option. What is the difference between that analysis and its result and the analysis the Minister referred to that will have to be done by the Government in the next couple of months?
