Can I ask about capacity on the Maynooth line? I went back over my records this morning and from 2020 I have a parliamentary question about the 41 new diesel ICR carriages costing €150 million that were arriving. They were initially due to arrive in 2022 but I think the pandemic slowed that down. At that stage, we were expecting a 34% increase in capacity on the Maynooth line. Was that delivered with the 41 carriages because the belief out there is that the Maynooth line is still very much struggling with capacity at the moment? While the attention has been on the timetable in recent weeks, would it be incorrect to state that simply reverting to business as usual will address all of our issues?
