Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Jim Meade:

Certainly, we work closely with the NTA on it and, in credit to the NTA, it is putting much time and effort into trying to come up with a solution. There are a couple of aspects involved - ticketing, revenue and taxation as well as security once we put it in. It is front and centre and it is getting a lot of discussion to see if we can come up with a product that is manageable. The other things that are happening with the young adult fares and the 20% reduction across all fares will also contribute to that. It is getting attention and I can say on the NTA's behalf that it is endeavouring to come up with a product as quickly as possible.
