Ms Mary Considine:

We have very positive engagements with the National Transport Authority, NTA, and the Department of Transport. There is a real understanding of the importance of this strategic rail review and the importance of funding it. Certainly, the programme for Government commits to funding capital infrastructure. However, we are still going back at each gateway. We only have permission to go so far and then it is subject to funding again, so it is just really to address that.
