Mr. Hugh Creegan:

We will assume early next year, just to give the Deputy a working assumption.

The rail spur to Shannon Airport is in the transport strategy, as the Deputy will be aware. I do not think any work is ongoing on it at the moment but it is in there. In the past Irish Rail had identified a corridor for it.

On BusConnects Limerick, we said the rollout of the new network of services would now be 2027. That is because we have to have sufficient drivers. There is a very enlarged network from the current network. From memory, it is either 50% or 70% bigger than the current network.
