Ms Anne Graham:

We factored it into phase 1 because we always believed, and knew, that there would be demand that would develop over time. That is why when we put in the services we usually leave them for a year or 18 months before making changes because that is when we really truly see how people are responding. We build in as much of what we think is induced demand but we would probably say we have been surprised at the level of response and how quickly the response has occurred. We would be delighted to do more of that right across Ireland.
