I thank the witnesses for making time to be with us. My first question is on the Luas for Lucan. I am very happy to see it mentioned in the opening statement. When I raised this first when I was elected, I was told the emerging preferred route would be ready by the end of 2025 and that has now slipped to the first half of 2026. With that in mind, how confident are the officials that, subject to all the other caveats, the railway order will go to An Coimisiún Pleanála by 2028? What level of confidence do they feel about that?
