Mr. Jeremy Ryan:
I might just add that Irish Rail does annual surveys in November of each year and crowding of carriages is assessed as part of that survey. If those surveys show that there is an unacceptable level of crowding, it will come to us with a revised plan where they have rolling stock to increase the length of trains. Also, in our contract, there is a contracted length of train for each service that Irish Rail operates. On occasion, for whatever reason, carriages are not included when they should be. We keep an eye on that through the contract.
