I endorse what was said. I believe the way Mr. Meade does business is a breath of fresh air. I commend the delegates for their interaction.

I have couple of questions. I am taken by the fact that Iarnród Éireann is seeking, as a priority, to reduce journey times between Dublin and all major cities to under two hours, at a minimum. I use the train service from Limerick to Dublin all the time and have done so for many years. It depends on the train. If Irish Rail proceeds to lay the second rail track between Limerick Junction and Limerick city, how much time will it save for those going from Limerick to Dublin or from Cork to Dublin? How long will it take? What is the current position? Roughly how much will it cost? It is a practical measure that could be significant in reducing the journey times between Limerick and Dublin. I know the journey at first hand.
