It is important to recognise the progress that has been made on the railway services, including the rail lines and rolling stock. Is there a programme to replace mainline stations? Waterford, in particular, requires upgrading fairly quickly and some other stations are in poor condition.

The Minister referred to his public transport plan, which we all await, but has he brought it to the Cabinet sub-committee? He said he was going to do so in early March. Has he received Cabinet approval for the plan? When does he expect to announce details of the plan?
