The Deputy may have missed my earlier reply to Deputy Munster. The Government has trebled its commitment to disabilities in the recent capital plan in addition to what was already being spent. There is no doubt that my Department and the Government are fully committed to disabilities.

The Deputy made a very good point in respect of Irish Rail. She would accept that a pilot scheme is now being operated by Iarnród Éireann on the DART to try to bring down the number of hours required for notice from 24 hours to four hours. I will report back to the House when a result is obtained in that regard. It is a very important development.
