Ms Mary Considine:

There are a couple of issues there. We have the redevelopment of Ceannt Station. We are hoping that will be open next year, and that will provide for five platforms and, again, the platform extension allowing for the larger sets. The Deputy mentioned the passing loop at Oranmore and, indeed, the underpass was put in there the weekend before last. I believe platform 5 is opening in Galway this weekend. As the Deputy rightly pointed out, we have been able due to reconfiguration to introduce that early morning Athenry service that comes through Oranmore. That is only in place until August of next year, so it will be subject to review and we will see whether the funding will continue to retain that service thereafter. However, I believe the numbers are growing at it, and we know there is demand for more services. To answer the Deputy's question, we are hoping that when the DART+ fleet is up and running in summer 2027, that will free up more sets to introduce additional capacity. We are really constrained at the moment. I would love to be able to say to the Deputy today that we will be able to address this in the coming months. Unfortunately, there are real capacity constraints with the fleet.
