I thank the witnesses. First of all, I am interested in the Navan rail line because I am Meath based. Mr. Meade touched on it earlier. Is it the case that consultants have been appointed or that they are to be appointed in early 2024? Can Mr. Meade outline what those consultant will do step by step? Will they deal with route selection, for example? How far are they funded? How far can we take this project until we need to go back for more funding?
