Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Irish Rail and ourselves have already gone to the market looking for manufacturers. We have shortlisted a number of manufacturers and the tender documents will issue to them later this month. We hope that order will be signed sometime in the middle of next year. Delivery time periods after that will be very much dependent on which manufacturer is successful and what its order book is like.
