While we are waiting, can I inquire about CIE? CIE operates routes which are not busy. There are some such routes in my constituency. What is the future of those routes that are not making money? Are there any plans to increase passenger numbers? In various areas throughout the country I see trains passing by and not many people using them. On the Cork-Dublin train the number of passengers has fallen drastically. What action is being taken by the Department in consultation with CIE to increase passenger numbers?
