Mr. Peter Strachan:

I will try to comprehensively answer the questions in order.

On experience of the Irish transport system, those of us who live the other side of the water always take an interest in what is happening here because it is similar but different and, therefore, we have always got an eye to what is happening. If anybody thinks that there is a monopoly of good ideas in one or other area then my experience in transport would be that we are sadly mistaken and can be quite arrogant if we think that. We are certainly watching the development of progress.
