Ms Anne Graham:
That is the unfortunate case. Unfortunately, we have to announce that the Irish Rail contractor that manages its ticketing system, particularly the ticket-vending machines is not in a position to deliver to the timeline we would have liked and has given a timeline of quarter 1 of next year. We are obviously trying to see how we can mitigate that and if there are any changes we can make. The other thing we are also considering is whether there are other elements of fares we need to bring forward now so we package up even more with regard to that delivery. Unfortunately, we are very disappointed to say this introduction is now delayed from quarter 3 to quarter 1 next year.
