I wish to clarify issues with Mr. Murphy that were raised by Deputy Ross. At the end of last year it was reported that Irish Rail was close to securing a deal with a private sector buyer to sell land holdings at Spencer Dock in Dublin. As part of the problems for the company at the time the report indicated it required €16 million in order to allow it to pay for its day-to-day expenses such as till rolls and toilet rolls. Did the NTA step in to provide the €16 million?
