Mr. Jim Meade:

It will be in September of this year. Irish Rail has just submitted the business case to the Department of Transport and to the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland to replace the fleet. That is a project we have running. We are looking for funding from the special EU programmes body, SEUPB. That business case has gone in. SEUPB will give us some funding and the two Departments will have to make up the rest. That is for an entirely new fleet, one fleet being eight trains, in order that the whole service will be uniform. We hope to go to tender this summer, depending on getting the various approvals from the Departments. If those two steps happen, we will go to contract towards the end of 2025 with a completely new fleet in service for 2029. That is an important date for us because the SEUPB funding runs out then so it must get it done by then.
