It is great to see that progress. I know we had hoped to have it a bit earlier in 2026 but Mr. Creegan of the NTA pointed out that the European licensing etc. would take six months. I hope we will see the roll-out in quarter 4 of 2026 which would really help with the frequency on the northern commuter line. As the Minister knows, the population has greatly increased not only in Fingal but also in east Meath and Louth. It would be really good to see those rolled out.
