I thank Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, for coming before the committee. I want to go back to the point about toll prices on the M50 as a means of demand reduction. What are we talking about here? They are doing that on the basis that the M50 obviously cannot deal with the traffic that the M50 should be able to deal with. I understand that. Is there a solution to this and has one been modelled out, if there were to be an increase in relation to public transport, etc.? That is accepting that a huge number of people will have to drive trucks, cars and whatever else. Obviously, if a considerable number of cars can be taken out of the equation, that will impact on the number of tolls that are paid.
