I will just come back on that point. Ms Graham is saying that they want, the Government or the Minister could say in the morning that the fares would be reduced at the stations in Stamullen, Gormanston, Laytown and Drogheda to bring them closer to the fares in Balbriggan. They could do that, but it does not look like they will. On behalf of my constituents and those of my colleague, Deputy Ó Murchú, in neighbouring Louth and east Meath, I call on the Government to do that. There has been a significant amount of submissions to the draft strategy to that effect, which is important to note. What approach will be taken now? When the NTA's review is complete, it will submit it to the Government and will it make a decision at that stage? How does it work if the NTA has proposals?
