Ms Anne Graham:
What I am saying is that there is a cost associated with the deployment of the fleet. We can only do what we can within our current budget with that fleet and approve the proposals that Irish Rail is putting forward. That fleet can be utilised even further, as has been suggested by my colleague in terms of shuttles and other ways of using the fleet, but that is currently not within our budget to do. However, we look forward to seeing what we need in terms of service delivery for the next five years on the infrastructure and with the fleet we currently have. That will form the basis of our funding requests each year to assist us in delivering those services.
