Mr. Dermot O'Leary:

We will share. There are two questions. I will take the first and my colleague can take the second. We are on common ground here.

In terms of the question about the shared locations, as we call it, we are under more than a bit of pressure. I, again, have to be very responsible in my role as general secretary of the National Bus and Rail Union and ensure that my members in Irish Rail are very much aware of their obligations to their employer. They are not in dispute with their employer but I cannot dictate, to anybody in this room and certainly not to my members, where their moral compass points or how responsible they may feel to the family that is CIE, a relationship the Deputy rightly mentioned. Despite the ambition of the main party in Government today, and others, to dismantle the CIE family, they will get their answer as to what the family looks like or what it will do in terms of supporting each other very soon. I am at pains, however, to point out that Irish Rail workers are not in dispute, but there are going to be pickets in Limerick, Athlone, Waterford, Galway and the Sligo next Monday, unless the acting CEO withdraws those cuts. Those locations have railway stations direct centre and front of house. People in Irish Rail are telling me, wrongly from a legal perspective I accept, that they are going to have severe difficulty passing those pickets.
