The Deputy’s point is very valid, and I will raise it with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Varadkar. I fully understand the Deputy’s very clear point. Iarnród Éireann does its utmost to facilitate all passengers. On the Sligo line a ramp is available. Many of the station personnel, when they are on the platform, can make this ramp available very quickly on the Sligo-Dublin line. The cost of adjusting the rolling stock would be prohibitive. I believe the Minister is in consultation with Iarnród Éireann, which is co-operating to facilitate this in times of great financial constraint. I will raise the issue with the Minister.
