Mr. Jim Meade:

-----it is major capital. You are putting in infrastructure for 100 years. When you stand back and look at the life cycle cost of these investments, of new trains, which now come at a very reasonable price, and new infrastructure, it is actually cheap infrastructure. In fairness to the Government, and the Department was mentioned, they now see that and that the long-term investment, especially in all modes of transport infrastructure, is a good investment long term.

The Senator mentioned two things, one of which was the Rosslare line. Maybe afterwards he would give us details about the Waterford train because there should not be a disability toilet out of service. We do need to follow up on the matter.
